Award winning quilter making art quilts and traditional quilts. Sometimes traditional, sometimes adventurous, sometimes phenomenal. Recent works can be found here and online at https://m.facebook.com/MissJeansQuilts/ Additional photos and a few stories can be found at www.CampNana.blogspot.com, be aware that I'm a sometime blogger because I'm an all-the-time quilter.  Currently accepting commission work for home, office, and business decor. 

I began making art quilts, without formal training.  Working with local mentors, I have learned much of traditional quilting.  Now I often combine techniques for unique projects.  Publications include Dare to Dance, Mary Wilson Kerr; Free Motion Mastery in a Month, Renae Merrill; One Block Wonders of the World, Maxine Rosenthal & Linda Bardes.

 I enjoy making quilts for people to snuggle into. After all, quilts are like hugs when you can't be there in person.

I also use acrylic paints in various processes. I am also dying cotton fabrics to use in quilting and sewing.  I use wool to create lovely forest people and animals and make their clothing by hand.
