Jean has been quilting for thirty years and writing in one form or another for longer. Upon retiring from her career as a medical lab technologist, she took up writing seriously. Her first book, Surprise, A Storybook Quilt meshed her fabric art with the written word.
Surprise:
A Storybook Quilt
Rhymes delight the old and young
They slip off the reader’s tongue
Quilts soothe our active minds
Bring joy and time to unwind
Discover a new world where animals from the quilt come alive.

Turning the corner he was surprised to see.
A black and white skunk climbing a tree.
A green garter snake sipping his tea.
And a red ant dipping his toe in the sea.

These are just some of the lines to be found in this delightful child’s picture book.
