Nat'l and Int'l Quilt Instructor, Lecturer, Fabric Designer. Author of "Turkish Delights to Applique", "Bended Bias Applique" and Quilted Fairie Tales" NEW BOOK released late summer 2013 "Painted Applique; a new approach" I have always felt privileged to have been born into a talented and loving, generous European family who always put their family first when it came to teaching freedom of artistic expression. As a first generation American , I have inherited the good fortune of generations of artists, silversmiths, sculptors, poets, weavers, stained-glass artisans and writers, leading to a never ending curiosity of different cultures. This has fueled my passion for travel, teaching and sharing my experiences with people around the world. I have taught in the USA, Italy,The United Kingdom, Germany, Turkey, Holland, French Polynesia and England to name a few. . I believe language is never a barrier in the translation of quilts! I live in the beautiful state of Pennsylvania where NY, NJ and PA all touch the Delaware River.
