I have been a Women's Wear Fashion designer for over 20 years, creating collections for brands including Halogen for Nordstrom, Sergio Valente for Union Bay and Women's for Eddie Bauer.
Here, you will find my sewing and crafting projects as well as free patterns, tutorials, and links to my Etsy shop featuring my pattern lines.
My passion for textile arts started at the age of six with the help of my mom, designing and sewing clothes for my Barbie dolls.
I received my technical training at Seattle Central College's recognized Apparel Design program.
I have contributed designs to Quilts and More, Stitch, Sew News, Sew it All and Quiltmaker Magazines.
You can also find my work included in the books 100 Paper Pieced Quilt blocks, Mollie Makes Patchwork and Quilting, Playful Little Paper Pieced Projects, Beautiful Bedrooms by Stitch Magazine and Quilt Essential.
My Paper pieced designs and projects can be found in the book "Super Cute Paper Piecing."

Happy Sewing!
Your designs are exquisite. I am passing along your website to a former colleague who is an art teacher. He can show it to his students as an example of one way they can direct their career and aspire to be a designer. My daughter is in the Interior Architecture/Design field and now designs kitchens for a living, which she thoroughly enjoys. After seeing your work, now I really want to learn how to do paper piecing. Thank you for sharing your talent.
