I'm a librarian by day, crafter by night and weekend. I taught myself how to quilt and manage to find time to sew every day. I also brew my own beer, kickbox, and am active in local democratic politics. I live in Indianapolis with my husband and 2 lhasa apsos, Butch and Cassidy.

Quilting and sewing. Right now, I love white in quilts, and like modern designs. I spend too much time looking at fabric online and buying it in person. Oh, and I love to wear dresses. I recently bought 1200 assorted sewing patterns off of Craigslist, because I'm a little bit crazy.

For quilt books, I recently read and liked Denyse Schmidt Quilts and Amy Butler's latest. As I'm a librarian, I read tons of other things, too. Mostly memoirs.

I'm still a fan of The Simpsons. Also, I like The Office and How I Met Your Mother. I try and stay away from reality TV.
