Interviewed by Elizabeth Townsend Gard

Date March 2018

I'm in four quilt guilds (I know, it's crazy).
I'm a member of a maker space at the University of Nebraska with a longarm, industrial sewing machines and other cool textile tools.
I'm a member of the International Quilt Study Center and Museum at the University of Nebraska.
I teach youth quilting through 4-H.
I design quilts using Adobe Illustrator.
I've thought about publishing patterns and increasing my teaching to guilds, etc., but am undecided about entering a space that is already saturated, especially since I don't intend to make it a full-time gig.
