For the past 40 years, quilting has been my passion. Then in 2018, I took a class and discovered collage quilting. What an experience! After my first quilt, I was hooked! It is why I decided to jump off the cliff and develop my first collage art pattern! That is how Moo-Shu the Panda was born! All are art quilts. The large “I Spy” gumball machine (I Spy, Halloween, and Christmas snow globe versions) sure to delight the kids and Angel in Flight! New in 2024, is “Life is Short, Eat the Cake” collage art quilt pattern. It can be made in so many different versions: birthday, anniversary, baby shower, etc. All PDF patterns are full-size and include supply list and detailed instructions.
New in 2023, “A Joyful Embrace: A Memoir” was self-published on Amazon. It is now available for sale in e-book, paperback, and hardback versions. It is the story of my daughter, Mimi, who was born with severe cerebral palsy. She led a joyful and challenging life. With the mental capacity of a delightful two-year-old, her extraordinary social and spiritual gifts changed hearts and challenged what is “normal” for any she encountered. My collaged art quilt entitled “Angel in Flight” graces the cover.
The profits from “A Joyful Embrace: A Memoir” will be donated to the Village Learning and Achievement Center, a charity that supports special needs adults and their families.
