I am a quilter. I also have a dog. Quilting came to my life as I was sniffing the first-found smells of the great recession. Starting with no rules and a serious lack of money, my quilting adventures took me to thrift shops, dumpsters and friends' closets. My grandmother and aunt sent me so much of my stash. I also found YouTube a cool outlet...making long videos talking about emotions I was quilting out of me. Last year, I moved to New Orleans and was a full-time quilter and quilt teacher for awhile. I loved that life. This is one of the only quilts I ever designed for myself.
