I have been quilting since 1986. I started my own business, Doughty
Designs, in 1991 and have been creating commissioned work ever
since. My specialty is pictorial quilting, although I have
created a broad range of work from bed quilts to wall hangings,
postcard size to queen size, traditional to abstract, and wearables.
I teach and lecture on various aspects of quilting.
