About the Author

Kay is known for her enthusiastic teaching methods and for incorporating exotic fabrics into her quilts in unique ways. She is a self-described "shopaholic" and loves to collect fabrics from around the world for the ultimate stash. She incorporates special fabrics into her quilts for both charity and competition.

Kay thrives on being able to teach others the joys of designing one-of-a-kind quilts with one fabric. She also teaches a variety of classes, from beginning quilting to precision piecing. Through the years, she has taken classes with international instructors and has taught as far away as Rabat, Morocco.

Her quilts have been juried into a number of prestigious international quilt shows, exhibited at the Michigan Women's Historical Center, and featured on a Quilter's Newsletter Magazine cover.

Ever on the go, Kay is a member of the Capitol City Quilt Guild, the Lansing Arts Patchers, the Shiawassee Quilters, the Saginaw Piecemakers and the Pedal Pushers, a group that meets once a month to bike to nearby quilt shops. She and her husband, Rollie, live in Laingsburg, Michigan.
