More About the Author

I am a quilter, engineer and organizer. Not in that order. Growing up in Southeastern Pennsylvania, daughter to Mennonite parents in a intensely mennonite community, you would think the quilting came first. But I was a rebelous girl of the 60's and felt I should do something different, something girls just don't do. I was good at math and science, so it was natural for me to choose engineering. I have a Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering and I have worked for 20+ years in research and development in a manufacturing plant. I set up efficient work environments, with Parts, Plans, and Tools accessible.

My passion for quilting began after the death of my father nearly 15 years ago. When Abraham Schmitt left this earth, he left behind furniture that he made with his own hands and documentation in the form of books that he wrote. Grief over his death caused me to search out my legacy. Female ancestors from my community typically left behind quilts that are the only clue to their lives and spirits. I decided to follow in the footsteps of the women who went before and make quilts to express life and spirit to those around me.

My two worlds of quilting and engineering have collided to form a new synergy in my life. I have applied my organizing and problem solving skills to my passion of quilting, forming a whole new perspective on Quilt Studio Design. The energy and enthusiasm created by following my passions launched my Professional Organizing business.

1.0 out of 5 stars Waste of money!, February 7, 2008

This review is from: Creating Your Perfect Quilting Space Studio Planner (Paperback)

Save your money and go buy $14 (item plus shipping) worth of fabric instead of this "workbook". Although I give high praises to the original book PERFECT QUILTING SPACE, this "planner" is a joke and most certainly should have been included in the original book. For this price, I expected vinyl stick-on furniture models and erasable/wipeable graph paper. It is nothing more than a 2 page piece of card stock graph paper with scale furnishings (none of which fit my quilt room furniture!) that you're supposed to COPY! Do yourself a favor and just grab a piece of graph paper and measure your furniture and draw up your room on your own. (The "workbook" wants you to do that anyway!). Don't waste your hard-earned money on this product. Just an FYI - this is my FIRST negative review on Amazon!!

1.0 out of 5 stars This is NOT a book!, September 23, 2007

This review is from: Creating Your Perfect Quilting Space Studio Planner (Paperback)

This is mis-advertised and over priced for what it is. It is a 4 page fold out brochure that could just as easily been included in a book on how to plan your quilting space with examples.

I am quite disappointed and am returning it. I only gave it one star because the program would not let me give it no stars.

1.0 out of 5 stars Deceptive!, March 22, 2008

This review is from: Creating Your Perfect Quilting Space Studio Planner (Paperback)

This planner is not a book at all, but a fold-out cardboard graph paper that should have been included in the original book as a supplement and is not worth $12and shouldn't cost more than 4.95. I thought I was going to receive a book loaded with pictures and ideas and different layouts. You can go to the dollar store and get a pack of graph paper and construction paper for $2.oo and achieve the same thing as this product.
