Quilting Since: 1988
Teaching Since: 1996

Specializes in: Machine piecing, inventive rotary cut and machine stitched curved designs, drafting and design, and the color wheel.
Debbie came to quiltmaking via a lifetime of garment and craft sewing. Debbie’s approach to design, quiltmaking, and teaching draws on her experiences as a school teacher, Cub Scout Den Mom, and Junior High church volunteer as she leads each quilter to have fun while creating something that pleases them and is uniquely their own.
Through her pattern company, Maple Island Quilts, and her books, "Cutting Curves from Straight Pieces" and "Dancing Quilts from Straight Pieces," Debbie offers achievable, slightly non-traditional projects with enormous design possibilities for all skill levels. She calls her style “controlled inventive.”
Debbie teaches regularly at shops, guilds, and events held throughout the US and internationally. She has appeared on many television quilting shows. Debbie’s quilts have been used in consumer and industry magazine ads and articles for many fabric companies. She frequently lectures for major fabric companies at industry shows.
