Artist's Statement:

1991 was the first year I made quilts. My story is in Quilter's SOS. Paper dolls were a favorite activity when I was young. In my second childhood, I have enjoyed designing and hand cutting three snowflake quilts this year. Two will be donated to organization I belong to for fund raisers and the third, representing the word cold, will be exhibited in Word Power with the Free Spirits Art Quilts group in July 2014 in Vista, CA.
