About Me

I’ve worked in the quilting and sewing publishing world for 25 years, helping designers, publishers, and makers bring their creative visions to life. For 16 of those years, I was an on-staff editor for national quilting, sewing, and crafting magazines. Since 2016, I’ve been a full-time freelancer, offering technical editing, illustration, and pattern design for patterns, books, and magazines across the quilting industry.

Over the years, I’ve:

• Written hundreds of quilt patterns.

• Created technical illustrations for more than 400 quilts.

• Edited 50+ quilting and sewing books.

Some clients rely on me just for technical editing — double-checking math, diagrams, yardages, and fabric details. Others trust me to manage the entire process, from pattern writing to illustration to final layout.

Quilting has been a lifelong passion. I started sewing at four years old and quilting at nine, and I will always think of myself as a “maker of things.” I’m also proficient in Adobe Creative Cloud (InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop), giving me the tools to bring clarity and polish to every project. Above all, I love helping quilt designers succeed by creating patterns their customers can enjoy with confidence.
