Webster’s Dictionary defines art as “any craft requiring skill or creative work”. Quilting, and working with fabrics in a way that pleases, is certainly something that requires skill and is creative, so I guess I am an artist- a fabric artist. As the Qwazy Quilter, I will provide quilts and quilted products that will enrich a person's life through memory preservation and home decor. I promise to o
ffer unique, inspirational, high quality and long-lasting products, constructed in a way consistent with quilt industry standards and affordable for all to enjoy. Mostly I want my items to be loved and used by those who purchase them. I started sewing when I was in the 7th grade, making most of my clothes through high school. I even designed a few of my own creations! College saw a break from sewing. I majored in Wildlife Science at Rutgers University in NJ and worked for parks and recreation for nearly 20 years. But when I had children and was working full-time, sewing became my evening relaxation. I started quilting in the 80’s, making some decent items. But it wasn’t until I moved to Zebulon from NJ in 2005 that I learned what quilting was really about. I’ve taken classes and joined a local sewing bee and the Capital Quilters’ Guild. Unable to find a job outside my home since moving here, I’d decided to try quilting and sewing as my occupation. I like to make quilts that will be put to use. I love working with the fabrics, colors and patterns. I have far too many fabrics and ideas for projects in my closets, but one day, I will do them all!! My goal is to have my own website. My hope is to teach new quilters techniques that will make their entry into the quilting world smoother and less frustrating. I also quilt finished tops, make customized quilts and tee-shirt quilts and do clothing alterations.
