I love scraps. I love vintage quilts, and I love preserving the stories of quilters and the quilts they make. I love designing quilts and quilt blocks that tell the story or history of a person or family. Just as Pieces from the Past and Pieces of the Santa Trail do. I am a Homemaker who has a passion for all things quilty. I especially like a scrappy look. I love the challenge of working with scraps, remnants and cast-offs to make something beautiful. This doesn't just apply to quilting, but with life in general! I enjoy cooking and frequently watch the Food network for new ideas and to learn about food pairing profiles. I enjoy cooking and baking and trying new recipes. Since I have food allergies, most of the time this means converting recipes that I can enjoy as well.
