Biggest news (for me) in two decades -- I'm retiring from my SDCCD teaching gig and planning to move to Oregon near my best friend!
After 14 years in Point Loma at the West City Campus (and 12 more before that with Palomar College) teaching fiber arts, it's time to pop this balloon and have a new adventure. I expect to find a home with a great studio space and keep on designing and making artful quilts. I'll be doing workshops here (SoCal) and retreats there! And, happily, still collaborating with Hoffman Fabrics, too.
My kids are excited for me (and themselves!) and that's important support for my dream.
The bittersweet comes from ending weekly time with my dear students -- they have fueled my creative work. I love to watch them meet the challenges of our class projects. They are family to me. (As are my precious friends who don't quilt.)
