A Colorado native, my exposure to quilting started in 1985 with hand quilting. I found I could not get my projects quilted fast enough and looked towards machine quilting as a way to speed up the process. I enjoyed the creativity of machine quilting and the long-arm was the next step in my quilting evolution. The Quilting Cave, LLC, opened in 2001 soon after the purchase of a long-arm quilting machine and in 2003, I began teaching long-arm and domestic machine quilting classes. My goal is to stay on the leading edge of creativity by continuing to hone my skills through on-going education. I believe experience and education play a roll in choosing your quilter. My philosophy is to treat my customers the way I would like to be treated. The prices are quoted up front so there are no surprises when the quilting is completed. I schedule the quilts rather then relying on a first come, first serve basis and look forward to working with you in making your work of art come to life.
