Born and raised in Hungary, quilting was an unknown art form to me. All my life I loved to draw people and their faces. It fascinated me that behind every face there was a life story. Yet a portrait is a moment in time that captures the whole person. When I came to the United States, I discovered quilting rather accidently at an art fair. I remember how that quilt immediately attracted me with its colors and softness. At first I tried teaching myself quilting at home. Later on I realized there were such a things as guilds and classes, but by that time it was too late. I was off doing my own thing....
