Billie is proud to be a third generation quiltmaker.  She has been teaching quilting since 1976.  When asked what quiltmaking meant to her, Billie said "It is the past, the present and the future."  The past is her learning from her grandmother and mother.  The present is her current teaching of her students. And the future is the people who will pass on the knowledge of what they have learned from her to others. 

Billie has a knack for making quiltmaking easy for all levels of quilters.  She loves to develop "Quick Trick" methods of quilt construction.  A traditional quiltmaker with a twist.  She loves
to get quilters jazzed and excited to try a new technique for construction or look at something old in a new way.
She likes to see just how far she can "push" a block.  Her classes can be accomplished by all levels.

Writing and designing books has been a great challenge for Billie.  With 24 books published by Easymade Publications over the last several years, Billie has a vast library to draw upon for her workshops and lectures.  The HGTV show "Simply Quilts" helped Billie launch her lecture tour, which continues to take her all over the world. 

Billie is currently working on new ideas for "Pushing the Four-Patch", "Quilts In A Row", and designing new patterns for Easymade Publications.
