Her passion for self-expression led her to the quilt world where she has created, designed, taught and written about quilts for 30 years. In her books, A Southern Album and most recently, At Piece with Time; a Woman's Journey Stitched in Cloth, Kristin encourages other women to celebrate their unique story by documenting it in cloth. For the last 5 years, Kristin has been absorbed in the "altered" world. She finds visual journaling exactly what she's been looking for allow her to use her beloved fabric in both book and journal formats. She adores teaching anything to do with the creative process.
