Meet the Designer

I made my first quilt when my grandma when I was 12, and my second quilt in about 1978, and then I didn't quilt again until 1988. It was then that I became addicted! Rod and I have been married almost 27 years and we have three kids. I homeschool the kids, so our days are very full and quilting time is very precious to me. In 1993, I started my pattern company Homespun Charm. I'm also active in our local guild, our workshop and our state guild. We live in Nebraska, and those bright fabrics are mighty appealing during our long, dull, gray winters.
