- Biography:
- Born, Houston, Texas, 8/31/1946; Graduated, Aldine High School, class of 1964; Due to lifelong travelling, attended several schools including University of Houston, Chaffey College, Casper College, Oregon State University, Southern Oregon State Teachers College, University of Wyoming. Attended Theta's School of Sewing, Oklahoma City, Quilting in the Tetons, Jackson Wyoming, current owner and founder of Prism Quilt and Sew Co., Casper, Wyoming. Won Blue Ribbons for Best Tapestry at Wyoming State Fair in 1970, Blue Ribbon for Children of the World Quilt, designed by me, 1992; Best of Show at State Fair, 1993, for Aesthetics of southwest Album Applique Quilt. Designed, wrote, and copyrighted books for an ABC Applique Child's quilt, Aesthetics of All God's Children, a book of 50 Children of the World and World Adventure Cruise Children patterns for world peace, and designed two years of individual patterns for the Silver Fox Quilters, and have donated 700 quilts to charity. Others were sold to purchase fabrics and batting for the charity quilts. In the last 2 years, I have made 150 quilt tops for the Tall Pines Quilt Guild of Huntsville, Texas, and I finished one top last weekend to make the 4th quilt top completed for March. I can no longer quilt on my Nolting Longarm quilter due to fibromyalgia, but my wonderful quilting guild sisters have been so kind to quilt the little tops I make for them to distribute as the community needs and the guild is required. I hope the day I die, I will have just finished my last charity quilt top for someone who needs a quilt can enjoy. :)
