Besides the books I’ve written; Lone Star Illusions, Celtic Pieced Illusions, 3 Quilter's Celebrate the 4 Seasons, Floral Illusions, Combing Through Your Scraps, Optical Illusions for Quilters, 3-D Fun with Pandora's Box, I’ve also written many magazine articles, had my fabric lines and patterns featured in many quilting catalogs and I’ve been profiled in several books.
I hope you will enjoy reading these articles.
