She soon began designing her own quilts,which gave her much delight. Her favorite quilts are scrap quilts that typically incorporate a multitude of fat quarters. She is a nonpracticing certified public accountant and lives in Federal Way, Washington, with her husband, Tim. They have two sons, Blake and Justin.
