I'm absolutely inspired by modern fabrics and ideas. Traditional quilting is where I got my start. But now that I've discovered the world of modern quilting, I find that that is where my heart is happiest.

Things That Make My Heart Flutter:

lots of color (I don't think there is a color that I dislike)

I really love purples - less toward lavender, more toward plum, magenta, boysenberry, wine

I LOVE the photos in my Favorites for color, design, quilting, and originality

Dark chocolate if you please. The more intense the better! I also love the combination of dark chocolate and pistachio or hazelnut. I'm up for new adventures in chocolate and would gladly welcome a surprise. No food allergies here!
