#IGQuiltfest Day 3! ![]()
💜💜💜![]()
I've been judging and evaluating quilts for 14 years. I've taken many classes and lectures to learn as much as possible about all aspects of quilting, in order to be a professional and informed judge.![]()
💜💜💜![]()
My judging philosophy is to acknowledge excellence in quilting, and to educate and encourage quilters of all skill levels. I like to consider my judging work as an extension of my teaching, guiding quilters to improve their skills through constructive comments.![]()

I offer a lecture entitled “Secrets from the Judge’s Chambers,” an overview on what judges look for when evaluating competition quilts. This lecture is available virtually or in person.![]()

Contact me if you have any questions about quilt evaluation.![]()

It's hard to say that I have a particular style in my quiltmaking, because I'm always trying new techniques and tools. I'll try anything once, even if I decide later that I don't care for it. ![]()

But what I especially love is precision piecing. I like applique and other forms of quiltmaking, but my specialty is precision piecing. And I love to show my students how to get those sharp points and matching intersections. That's what makes a quilt pattern pop!![]()

Here's my Skyfall quilt, just to give you an idea of my work. Hope you enjoy.![]()
