Annette has been quilting since she learned to piece her first quilt, a Lone Star Quilt, in 1987. Being a lover of antique quilts, reproducing these quilts is one of her favorite processes. Through the study of fabric history, collecting antique quilts and an informal education involving classes, reading and learning from the antique dealers, Annette has added to her fabric knowledge. Annette has authored two books along with teaching, lecturing, writing patterns and displaying her own quilts at various shows.

Her first fabric line with Windham, Petite Perennials, is the next step in her love of fabric and quilting. Reproduction fabrics are her first fabric love!
