I'm a 31 yr old mother of 4. I'm happily married to a Marine and I was a Marine for 8 years. I worked as a paralegal in family law for 2 years. I'm also "mom" to 3 horses, 2 cats, and a dog. My children and my animals are NOT allowed in my studio and I do not smoke. I am a member of the Lexington, North Carolina, BBQ City Quilters Guild. I participate in several on-line block swaps and I also run a block swap out of the local quilting store. I donate quilts to Quilts of Valor and I also donate baby quilts to the local hospitals through my Guild. I grow and can all my own vegetables and I keep chickens for fresh eggs. I started quilting as a teenager and as I grow older it becomes more and more of an addiction. My wonderful husband has been very supportive and has bought me a professional quilting machine to help me make all of my quilting dreams come true. I have had it for over 4 years now and feel confident that I can make you a quality keepsake that your family will treasure forever.
