Welcome to my web page

I have been quilting since January 1990 when I made a baby quilt in preparation for the birth of my third son.  Little did my husband know where this one simple quilt would lead.  ;-)

In 1996 I received a NWT Arts Council grant, which allowed me to explore design work and fabric dyeing.  The four hand-dyed Arts Council quilts joined 6 more quilts in a solo show in Yellowknife in 1998.  One of the Arts Council quilts, “Northern Lights II” was donated to the Yellowknife Baker Senior Centre, and now graces the entry hall.

For awhile my old sewing machine, which had served me so well for so long, was becoming more difficult to work with.  I finally worked enough to purchase a new Quilter's Edition Bernina and since then I have been able to create a number of new quilts.  Recently I have begun a series of quilts called "She's Coming Undone".  I have several more on the drawing board and will begin to work on the fourth in the series in September 2001.

I hope that you enjoy seeing the progression in my art quilts.   There are more to come in the next 4 weeks.
