I have been quilting since the 1970's when I took my first class with Roberta Horton. I made quilts for 20 years off & on when I had the time.

Since retiring from full time work in the late 1990's & had more time to devote to quilting, I became interested in designing my own patterns.   In January of 2003 my pattern company, Berryvine Designs, was born. My main "style" is traditional & vintage but every so often I take a break from that & do something bright and bold just for fun.  I love all things "vintage" from fabrics & quilts to antiques & even classic cars. 

In 2005 my first book "Quick & Easy Romantic Quilts" by Leisure Arts was published. My newest book "Memories Sew Sweet" by Leisure Arts was published in 2009. I also added a line of apparel & gift items through Cafe Press
(see what's new page)

In 2007 I began making mixed media/altered art designs & have been published in various Somerset Publications. I have as much creating these vintage collage designs as I do quilts!

My patterns are fairly simple and easy to do.    I hope you will enjoy them.
