Squared Illusions 6

© 2007

My passions include creating digital design on my Macintosh computers; quiltmaking and working with a variety of media such as pigment inks, paints, dyes, fabric, papers, and threads; and photography, using my cameras (I'm a Nikon junkie) and printers (Epson junkie).

I have authored or co-authored 14 books on quilting/computer and Internet-related topics, and my 15th book, Digital Essentials, is now available for purchase! I continue to write freelance on various tech-related topics, reviews, and so on. I write the tech column for The Professional Quilter magazine which I've written since 1996, a tech column for the National Quilting Association's journal, and other publications such as Quilting Arts and Craft Reports.

I am also co-founder of GloDerWorks, a full service Web company with offices in the US and UK where I work as a graphic designer and director. If you are considering a website, I invite you to look at the sites we've created to see if we can help you. We create customized content management systems to accompany each site we develop. This means you can update the content on your site as often as you want without having to know any HTML. It's very cool!
