An interview I did at the 1999 Houston International Quilt Festival has been posted on the Alliance for American Quilts website. The interview was part of an oral history project at Texas, and I had both "Letting Go" and "Seams a Lot Like Degas" showing at Houston that year. In the interview, I talk about how I first got started quilting and the process I went through on the "Degas" quilt, amoung other things.
