been making quilts for almost as long. Recently she has found inspiration
from the collection of Illinois Amish quilts at the Illinois State Museum.

Quilts: Sharing Threads of Tradition and lectures
and offers workshops and consulting on the

and kits that evoke the spirit of simple living practiced by the Amish.
