Hi there, I’m

I am a Minnesota born girl living in Texas with my husband and 3 kids. If I could tell my 13 year old self I was a quilter, I would have laughed in disbelief.  However, a few years ago I discovered how cool quilting really is!  I want to share how cool quilting is with others.  Join me in my online modern Quilters Candy Membership, or check out my quilt patterns.  I even offer a course once a year teaching you how to write and sell your own quilt patterns. I am excited to be quilty friends!
