A little bit about me

I have been quilting for over 30 years, and began longarming in 2023.  Bold colors and fabrics draw my attention and I'm always learning new piecing techniques.  I tend to like more modern fabrics and colors, but I enjoy both modern and traditional patterns.  After retiring from a long career in IT program management I bought my first longarm and began working on quilts for other people using paper pantographs.  Eventually, I took some some classes and invested in a larger machine and frame that I call my quilting robot.  So far, I've completed over 20 edge-to-edge quilts.  

​

My longarm is a HandiQuilter Amara 24 with ProStitcher on a 10 foot frame.  I can quilt anything up to about 90 inches on the shortest side.  I've gotten skilled at computerized edge-to-edge designs and have done several custom computerized designs (different quilting designs on specific areas of a quilt), but I don't feel like I'm ready to hang out my shingle for that just yet.  Let me know if you want to be an early adopter!

I work from my home and do a lot of my work through mail order.  I can also meet you for pick up and delivery if you are in the Portland metro area.  ​
