Tree of Life Quilt
I made this quilt for the 2005 Santa Clara Guild quilt show. The center medallion is called Tree of Life and each surrounding block has a biblical name. The border is called Rose of Sharon. On the back of the quilt is a drawing of the quilt with each block named and a Bible verse to go with each one. It was quilted by Ohana Quilts. The border fabric is from Jenny Beyer.
I was married to Chris for 42 years before he passed away April 20, 2023. I have two beautiful daughters, Michaele and Jessica. Michaele is married to Matt and they have given me two grandsons, Hudson born in 2014 and Jase born in 2016. They reside in Boise, ID. Jessica is married to Clayton and now resides in Richardson, Texas. They have a son, Oliver (2019) and a daughter, Emmaline (2021).
I used to be a registered dietitian, but now am a fulltime homemaker.
I learned to sew in 7th grade. My mother told me she would buy me all the fabric I wanted if I would wear what I sewed. I made most of my clothing thru high school.
I made my first quilt in high school along with other teen girls from my church to give to a missionary. I made my second solo quilt while in college.
I became more interested in quilting after my marriage and have been making several quilts each year since the early 80's.
I am a member of the Chisholm Trail Quilt Guild in Georgetown, TX.
