 Debbie began her career as a home economics teacher. She took her first quilt class 24 years ago and has been quilting and teaching quilting ever since. In 2004 “American Quilter” magazine published her article “Teaching the World to Quilt”. The article shared her experiences of teaching Sudanese refugees to quilt in Cairo, Egypt, where she and her husband lived for eight years. Most recently her quilt and longarm quilting are featured in Barbara Chainey’s book “Fast Quilts from Fat Quarters”. She designed the tool “Brilliant Bindings” and self-published “Chenille Made Easy on a Longarm” and “Construction and Production”. She loves teaching all aspects of quilting.
