Acknowledgments

I would like to thank:

My family, for their patience and support—especially my husband, George, who, among other things, cooks for me every night while I carry on working; my children, Taylor and Isaac, who happily throw in comments when I ask for their opinion on my designs; my sisters, Annette and Gwennyth, who introduced me to quilting and are always proud of what I do; my brother Garry, who runs my website; and Jenn, who always kindly offers advice and opinions when asked.

My many friends with whom I have far too little time to be with—especially Narelle, who encouraged me to start my business, and Nola, who always listens.

Kathy Doughty, who has given so much. I have no doubt that I wouldn’t be where I am without her support, inspiration, and encouragement.

The talented staff at Material Obsession, who make my life fun and who inspire me every day.

John Doughty, who did the photography. I had total faith that he would make my quilts look amazing.

All the students who take my classes. I do this for them—they inspire me and make what I do worthwhile.

Everyone who makes my quilts and buys my patterns—without them, I couldn’t carry on doing this as my “job.”
