When did you start quilting?
1984

What /who is your inspiration? 
I was having a baby and wanted to make the room special.

What type of quilting do you prefer? (custom, panto, freestyle, etc)
I prefer freestyle and custom.

What is your greatest quilting obstacle?
I think a more sophisticated machine might help, but having more time to quilt would also help.
How many quilts do you quilt per day/month/year?
I quilt one or two a month with sometimes a month off in between to catch up on real life stuff.

What do you do to keep focused? (music, book on tape, mantra…etc)
Watch movies like Overboard and Pretty Woman that I have seen a dozen times.
