Cindy began sewing in Jr. High Home Economics., making her own clothes and crafts. She officially became a quilter when she was introduced to the rotary cutter and half-square triangle in 1985.

She has a degree in interior design and was an interior decorator for 8 years in Arizona and Utah. She began making and selling appliqued wallhangings, clothing and crafts as a home business and found her interests expanding to include teaching quilting and making commission pieces.

Today, she makes samples for major companies like P&B, Springs and RJR.
