My passion is sewing, quilting and embroidery. I thank God for giving me these talents.

I have witnessed the healing factor of the spirit through the art of sewing, not only for myself but also for others, and I have seen many times the use of needle and thread mend broken hearts and spirits.

I own Prairie Quilt shop in Hennessey, Oklahoma, where I am fortunate to share my passion with others. I am delighted when I see a new sewist become inspired.

I live on the wide open spaces of the Oklahoma prairie with my husband Jerry, my dogs Bill and Charley, and several horses. This land keeps me grounded, close to nature and is a spring of renewal for my spiritual life.

In addition to sewing, I enjoy reading, cooking, horseback riding, sailing and mosaics.  My greatest joy is my family, especially my three young grandchildren who make life a great adventure.
