I'm a newbie quilter, just three years into the craft. I was introduced to quilting by my great-grandmother, who passed away in 2011 at 99 years old. As a little girl, I sat at her feet as she hand-quilted and tied her quilt off with little pieces of red yarn. My job was to hand her the yarn.

I am married to my best-friend and 46 year old mom of two active boys, ages 5 and 2.and a full-time professional woman.
