Online Quilt Classes for Quilters

Offering instruction in modern traditional, modern and art quilting techniques. Classes are available on demand, as well as live events for enrolled students.

Thank you for visiting my site! In addition to online quilt classes, I also give quilt guild lectures where I share my perspectives on current and emerging trends in the quilt world today.  I also take you behind the scenes and talk about my design processes.

I also have an active studio practice as a contemporary textile artist.  My textile art has been juried into numerous fine art shows and quilt shows in galleries, museums and other venues. I work in two styles: creating textile art inspired by Geometric Abstraction and AfroModernism and exploring my family, personal and cultural history in my art quilts.
