In 1983, I embarked on my quilt design journey, but it wasn’t until 2016 that I saw my first published pattern, *Stars on Top*—a table runner featuring the Tucker Trimmer™ and Corner Pop™ tools. While that pattern is no longer available, my love for the oversized unit/trim to perfection methods pioneered by Deb Tucker of Studio 180 Design remains as strong as ever.
2017 brought an exciting new chapter when I rekindled my passion for curves. At the International Quilt Market, I had the pleasure of meeting Jenny and Helen from Sew Kind of Wonderful, discovering their incredible curved rulers. Like Deb’s tools, they use the same oversizing method with curves!
From my designer’s perspective, these tools are “Cousins”—same method, different shapes. Since then, I’ve been releasing original designs in my *Cousins Series*, each one blending at least one tool from both Studio 180 Design and Sew Kind of Wonderful. The rest is quilting history!
All my patterns are available for Retail purchase to every quilter and Wholesale to quilting businesses and professionals. Even though there is lots of proofing and testing of my patterns before they are release, occasionally there is a Correction. Follow the buttons for details.
