\"\"I am a proud military wife and mother to my two wonderful children, Hannah and Jake.\u00a0 My family puts up with my quilting obsession rather well.\u00a0 They don\u2019t even complain when I don\u2019t cook dinner because I\u2019m hard at work quilting. I never dreamed that I would become a quilter.\u00a0 It just kind of happened and I\u2019m so thankful that it did.<\/p>\n

In 2010 my father did the most generous thing ever…he bought me a Gammill Premier quilting machine.\u00a0 I was speechless.\u00a0 I am truly blessed to have such a wonderful father.\u00a0 He had faith that I would be able to use the machine and make beautiful quilts.\u00a0 Dad and I decided my Gammill should be named Roscoe.\u00a0 \u00a0And as they say, the rest is history.<\/p>\n

Roscoe and I have become great friends.\u00a0 This wasn’t always the case because I was very intimidated by him.\u00a0 I didn’t have a clue how to use a longarm machine.\u00a0 I watched the DVD that came with the machine and started playing.\u00a0 I wasn’t sure I would ever get the hang of quilting but I kept practicing.\u00a0 And practicing.\u00a0 And practicing.<\/p>\n

I truly believe quilting is an art.\u00a0 I specialize in freehand custom quilting because it’s my favorite.\u00a0 Each quilt is unique and each stitch is carefully thought out.\u00a0 You can see some of my work here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
