Expertise

Questions on all aspects of quilting are welcome: both art quilting and traditional. I have been involved with the textile arts for more than 30 years - history, technique, materials. Helping beginners as well as experienced quilters find quilting teachers and finding quilt resources on the Web is a specialty.

Experience in the area

I am a quilter, both art and traditional. I was the Quilting Guide on About.com (previously called The Mining Co.) for more than 8 years.
I now have my own personal quilting information site at www.Equilters.com and have many resources to help quilters, beginning to expert.

Education/Credentials

MA in textile design, U of Calif, Berkeley

Awards and Honors

I have shown quilts in various shows and exhibitions and won a Judge's Choice Ribbon in Houston 2000

What do you like about this subject?

The wide range of expression possible in quilting and the quilters! From free form art quilts to traditional designs, the range possible in a quilt is extraordinary!

What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?

I love to make quilts - and I have so much fabric collected in my stash, I just have to keep going forever!
