Whether you are new to improv quilting or more experienced, we all have the freedom to begin where we are and continue to grow. My workshops encourage ALL participants to tap into their beginner’s mind.

My goal as an improviser and teacher is to hand to you a range of pattern possibilities, so that you can discover YOUR way of making patterns. The beauty of improv is you can’t do it wrong!
