Betty began quilting shortly after moving to Savannah, Georgia from Monterey, 

California in 1993. Her very first quilt was in the traditional sampler style. In 1996, 

Betty participated  in the Georgia Quilt Project where she was chosen to design 

and create a gift quilt for the 1996 Centennial Olympic Games held in Atlanta, GA. 

Her quilt "A Log Cabin for the 1996 Olympics" was displayed for 5 months at the 

Atlanta History Center and was published in “the OLYMPIC GAMES QUILTS, 

AMERICA'S WELCOME to the World”, Oxmoor House (1996).   Bettys’ quilt was 

also shown in the national magazine, "Quilting Today", and in the local  Savannah

 Morning News paper. This quilt was chosen by the Georgia Quilt Project to be 

given as a goodwill gesture to representatives from a country participating in the 

Games;  the National Olympic Committee of the Former Yugoslav Republic of 

Macedonia. After the  1996 Olympics, Betty progressed from her traditional 

quilting into her present "quilting addictions"; intricate Foundation Paper Piecing,

 and Color Wash or Water Color quilting.     

Betty is active in the promotion of the art of QUILTING, and was a member and Past

President of the Calico Stitchers Quilt Guild of Savannah, Ga. She has also been a 

member of the Georgia Quilt Council and the Palmetto Quilt Guild of Hilton Head, 

SC. At first she taught her quilting techniques to many quilters at Colonial Quilts

 in Savannah; eventually she decided to devote most of her time to her own 

artistic design whims her quilt studio in Rockfish Creek gorge in Cumberland 

County, North Carolina. Prior to the summer of 2003, Betty continued to give 

lectures and demonstrations to quilters around the area on her Watercolor 

techniques.  In mid 2003, she moved her quilt studio and her husband to 

Hoppachshof, Germany where she gained more experience quilting on PFAFF and BERNINA machines. In late 2006,Betty and her husband left Germany and moved to Corpus Christi, Texas. 

 She is continuing her quilting and has again begun teaching at the BERNINA Sewing Center in Corpus Christi. She is also a local representative for BERNINA Sewing Machines.  

Betty maintains heirloom quality in her Pinwheel, Interlock, Wall Hanging, and 

Throw Water Color quilts with the use of long fiber cotton fabrics from around the 

world, and is proud to have her quilts in homes across the US and EUROPE. She

has a stable of sewing machines that include a 1949 and 1956 Featherweight 

SINGERs, a PFAFF, and a computerized BERNINA.

Betty has been a member of the VILLAGE CRAFTSMEN artist cooperative 

located on the riverwalk at 223 West River Street, Savannah, Georgia since 1996.
