What was your inspiration?

The commemoration of Lewis and Clarks' historic trip West and their crossing of the Bitterroot Mountains. To survive the crossing, they had to eat their horses. Hence my name of the quilt A 'Bitter' Crossing.

What are you most proud of?

That is was exhibited in the Museum of the American Quilter's Society as part of their Lewis and Clark commemoration.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Start small and simple...

The waterfall was made over the pieced quilt top. I used long strips of white organza and tulle to create the flowing effect.

You do beautiful work. I am going to look for your book. I also wish you could teach a class. It is so much better to see the process being done.Thanks for sharing.
