Biographical Information
A lifelong love of art and handwork has
led to a career as a professional quiltmaker, instructor, fabric designer, and
appraiser, certified by the American Quilter’s Society. Although I was taught
to sew at an early age by my paternal Grandmother, it was not until an adult
education class in quiltmaking in 1982 that these loves came together. In 1985,
I was persuaded to teach by a San Diego quilt shop owner and I have been
teaching ever since. I have also exhibited my work in local and national shows.
My work has also appeared in national publications including American
Quilter and Quilter’s Newsletter Magazine.

Introduction To Textile Timeframes
Quilts can be dated by a number of
factors. These factors, arranged in a time line, allow a quilt to be placed in a
timeframe of most likely construction. Through antique and reproduction fabrics
and quilts, these factors are presented. Those in attendance are encouraged to
bring quilts for dating. Contemporary “reproduction” fabrics may also be
brought for organization in a timeframe notebook.
Textile Timeframes
Each of these time frames is the focus of a separate class. The period is described and discussed in depth. Reproduction fabrics are used to “mock up” the timeframe and the construction of reproduction quilts is covered. 3 - hours / 20 students
Timeframe I - 1775 - 1830The late 18 Th Century to 1830 is characterized by rapid changes in technological developments. Many wonderful early furnishing fabrics found their way into quilts of this period.
Timeframe II- 1830 - 1860
Roller printing dominates textile production and the block style quilt comes into its own.
Timeframe III- 1860 - 1880The “Brown Decades” are characterized by war and social change.
Timeframe IV - 1880 - 1900The late Victorian period had its own special charm and many wonderful fabrics. These fabrics will be studied in detail.
Timeframe V- The 20 Th CenturyMore is written about this period of American quiltmaking than any other timeframe. Both popular and unfamiliar patterns will be discussed.
