Jill has been specializing in the "Easy way to sew" for years and has adapted her garment sewing and embellishment techniques to Heirloom Sewing, Quilting, Doll Making, and more. Make it fast, make it easy, and make it beautiful! You don't have to sacrifice workmanship for ease as her varied samples beautifully illustrate. She will wake up your imagination and inspire you to explore and get the most out of yourself and your sewing machine.

Extensive machine knowledge has enabled Jill to become a nationally known teacher as well as the author of "The Heirloom Shirt" which is a sampler project that is easy enough for a beginning sewer, yet elegant enough for the most special occasion. "Pretty Quick" a quick and easy project book has a variety of quick, easy, and beautiful projects. Look for "Pretty Quick, too!" in the summer of '01.
