About the Author

A professional quilt teacher since 1990, Faye has taught at major quilt conferences. Her specialities are Baltimore album applique, Hawaiian quilting, and dimensional French ribbon flowers. Her quilt A Tribute To Celia Thaxter won first place in the category Reflective of a Particular Life and Time in C&T's Baltimore Album Revival Contest in 1994. Faye was also voted National Honored Teacher of Baltimore Album Applique by her students in that same contest. After being introduced to French ribbon work in Elly Sienkiewicz's "Dimensional Applique," Faye began intensely working with this new material. She lavishly incorporated wire-edged ribbon flowers into her Celia Thaxter quilt for a realistic and unique appearance. Her first book, Blossoms by the Sea , tells the story of Celia Thaxter's life, garden, the quilt, and making the flowers from the quilt
