Dedication
I love to quilt, and I love to dye fabric, but if my family
were not supportive of what I do, I would never be able
to do these things. So I wish to thank my husband,
Brett, for being so supportive of my artistic endeavors.
He gives me space not only literally, but also figu-
ratively, and he edits all my manuscripts. I couldn’t
do this without him. I am thankful for my children,
Zachary, Lars, and Erik, who think every mother is an
artist who has studio space, but especially me.
I wish to thank my mother June, who always encour-
aged me to be creative and my engineer father Hank
from whom I must have inherited the desire to
make things.
Acknowledgments
I wish to thank my quilting friends who are there
for me every day. Thanks, Laura, Anne, Melody,
Emily, Judy, and Ann. Also to PAQA (Professional
Art Quilters Alliance) and SAQA (Studio Art Quilt
Associates), two groups that help me grow as an artist.
I wish to thank my editor Cynthia Bix for being so sup-
portive and understanding. The writing process needs
a lot of fanning of the flames, and Cynthia always sent
a gentle breeze my way to keep the fires burning. I also
wish to thank all the people at C&T who worked with
me on this project. They are so thorough and easy to
work with. And thank you to my students who teach
me more than I ever teach them.
I am especially thankful for a little dog that came into
our lives ten years ago. George is a Jack Russell terrier,
and he needs a lot of exercise. If it were not for him
needing to get out and run around, I would not take
a daily walk in the little, twenty-two acre woods near
our home. My daily walks in the woods with George
bring to me so much inspiration and information for
my artwork. Every day that I enter the woods with
George brings me new color combinations and ideas
for my quilts. I tell my students that designs and ideas
for color combinations are all around us, especially in
nature—you only have to look, and I look every day.
