The history of Front Porch Quilts<\/a> began in 1987 when I decided to make a quilt as a Christmas present for David, the man I eventually married.<\/span>
I bought the Irish Chain in a Day book by Eleanor Burns.<\/span>
It took me six months to make the quilt, and six years to marry the man and be reunited with that first quilt again!<\/span><\/p>\n

Since then I have made many quilts year after year.<\/span>
I love fabric and trying new designs.<\/span>
As my skill and confidence grew, I began putting my own twist on the original patterns, making no two quilts alike.<\/span>
Because I gave most of these quilts as gifts, many people have seen and loved my quilts, and then commissioned me to make quilts specifically for them.<\/span>
One of these ladies suggested I should teach others to quilt.<\/span><\/p>\n

Excited by the thought of helping others to learn the art of quilting, I started teaching an evening community education class at a local public school.<\/span>
Four years later I moved the classes to my home as I began designing my own quilts and teaching them to my students.<\/span>
They enjoyed the designs, colors and ease of construction.<\/span><\/p>\n

All this has led to what you see on our site today.<\/span>
I have published my first pattern and have more in the works.<\/span>
I now have a shop! and it is a fantastic place to come and be inspired.<\/span>
So my words of advice are to “Dream BIG”.<\/span>
It takes only one step at a time to build your dream.<\/span>
All this was a dream that began years ago.<\/span><\/p>\n

Whew, that’s done.<\/span><\/p>\n

OK, who likes to talk about themselves?<\/p>

The history of Front Porch Quilts<\/a> began in 1987 when I decided to make a quilt as a Christmas present for David, the man I eventually married.

Since then I have made many quilts year after year.
I love fabric and trying new designs.
