This is the question I think I'm asked the most. The answer, in it's simplest form is: IT'S JUST FUN JUST WATCH I made one time lapse video of the making of a quilt a couple of years ago and had such a blast, I decided I'd do this from now on with ALL my quilt making. Just for myself. I love the whole process of both projects, and combining them has taken the whole experience to an exhilarating new level for me! Other people seemed to enjoy watching them as well, so I created this website to localize them in one place for easy discovery. I also simply put this all out here onto the internet as sort of a curiousity. An organic art project. To watch it evolve. To meet new people. To be inspired by them. To simply see what happens . . . In time, whatever this is, it will define itself. Right now . . . . it's just playtime! I hope you enjoy your time here. Please feel free to spread the love!

I started quilting in the early 1980's. I quilted a dozen or so quilts over the next 10 years. I've recently picked it up again in 2017. . . and have been on fire ever since!

I'm currently working on quilt #19 (Spring/Summer 2019)

HaHa.... I don't have enough time in my life to try ALL the quilt styles and color pallets I want to explore on my 'quilt bucket list'! I'll admit to loving ALL color(s) of any kind, but styles of quilts are as endless as an artist's imagination! I enjoy detail and challenge! For the last few years, I've approached my quilt-making with challenges that scare me – things I used to think were beyond my skill set. This has taken my quilt making to new levels in recent projects. And I also find I'm less intimidated taking on complex designs and techniques.

Honestly . . . I love EVERY part of it! From designing to binding!!

I made this little movie, "The Last of the Non-Blelievers", back in the mid 70's, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jWPOMJg5AMQ and time lapse photography evolved as a natural extention from that. I've been shooting time lapse ever since. Newer tools and smaller cameras have taken it to new levels the last few years. These days I'm getting a little more excited about ultra slow motion stuff . . . so you may start seeing that pop up from time to time.
