Do you offer quilt patterns?
Soon! Pattern writing wasn’t something I originally planned, but I’ve received many requests. When available, my modern quilt patterns will be for sale as digital downloads through my Etsy shop. Stay tuned for updates via my newsletter.
-
Do you have a newsletter?
I use Patreon for newsletter messages. This is the most viable solution for my needs and gives you the flexibility to opt-in and opt-out. Subscribe to my Patreon here. It’s free! I don’t have a regular cadence. No less than every couple of months will I have a newsletter to share.
-
Do you enter quilt shows?
Absolutely. I’ve enjoyed entering some of my modern and art quilts into local, regional, national, and international shows. If you hear of an upcoming exhibition or event, I’d love to know!
-
Do you sell your quilts?
I have not before. I may offer art quilts for sale at future shows. If I do decide to sell a piece, it will be priced to reflect the time, materials, and artistry that went into making it.
-
Do you take quilt commissions?
I don’t at this time. Between my full-time career and quilt design work, I simply don’t have the capacity to take on commissions. That said, you’ll see my personal work showcased here and on social media.
-
Can you share your workout routine?
It’s a question I get often! I’m not a certified trainer, but I can share what works for me. As my website grows, I’ll post more about my fitness journey and routines in future blog updates.
-
Do you have any plant-based or vegan recipes?
Yes! As my site grows, I will share plant-based options for you. Many have been inspired by other vegan creators, blogs, and cookbooks. I adjust most recipes to suit my family’s preferences, and I’ll begin sharing some of the recipes I can on my blog as my site expands.
-
Would you present at my guild, lecture, or teach a workshop?
Let’s talk. While I’m new to this part of the quilting world, I love speaking about quilting as a medium for storytelling and connection with people. I’ve appeared on a few podcasts holding such conversations. As of November 2025, I have not yet presented or taught publicly, but I’m open to exploring opportunities to lecture or teach in the future.
-
Do you post your work online?
Yes! You can find much of my current work on social media. I’m also developing a virtual quilt gallery and blog posts that dive into my creative process. Check back for updates.
-
Do you quilt your own quilts?
Sometimes. I quilt some pieces myself, but I often collaborate with a longarm quilter to meet deadlines for quilt shows and exhibitions. When I have the time, I love quilting my own work.
-
What do you do for a living?
I’ve lived two distinct professional lives—my first decade was spent as a Library Service Assistant in public libraries. Now, since 2015, I work as a communications professional. I hold a bachelor’s in television and cinema studies and a master’s in library science. Learn more about me on my About page.
