Over the past ten years, she has focused on designing pieces inspired by mosaic tile work. She has received “numerous accolades for her beautiful machine-pieced and mosaic tile quilts, including the American Quilter’s Society and the International Quilt Festival in Houston.” She is also the author of Blended Quilt Backgrounds and Masterful Machine Pieced Quilts.
