I've been married to the love of my life Nick, since 1998 when we started our crazy adventure together! I am a quilter, rugger, and gardener. I also love to cook when I get the chance.

The sailboat block is such a cute addition the quilt; supporting Katie, a military wife, is awesome; and seeing the love that Hogs for Heroes is getting is so incredible. Not every soldier gets that kind of understanding, and believe me when I say, transition to civilian life is a long, hard road. Thank you, Lisa, for your heart to this mission. You are making a difference. 💕
