Ron is my husband and best friend.  We have been married for 33 years now and have enjoyed every one.  He supports me in my Artistic Endeavors and encourages me to keep going, keep developing and keep seeking new ways to say the things with fabric and thread that are so important to me.   Ron is a Professor of Ministry and Theology at Valley Forge Christian College and enjoying it very much.  He trains men and women for Ministry for the Assemblies of God Denomination and his students end up ministering in the United States as well as many parts of the world.  He is also the Graduate Program Director for Valley Forge Christian College Masters Degrees.

Justin's Quilt - 72” x 96”

Commercial cottons, Machine Quilted

This was one of my first quilts that I made for Justin when he was about 6 years old.  He chose the fabrics of his favorite football teams and we designed the football motif together with graph paper.  He has slept with this quilt ever since and even took it with him through Liberty University, Parris Island, Quantico, Pensacola and Whidby Island, Washington.   Even though it is now in shreds, it is on its third tour of duty with the Marines in the Middle East. It was my first attempt at machine quilting before I knew I needed a special attachment for that but it was a labor of love and he is still using it!!! 

Bridging The World - 56” x 36” 

Xerox Iron-On Transfer Paper, inkjet printed photos, commercial cotton, monofilament thread - Machine quilted

 I designed this quilt as a memory collage of photos for my son, Justin’s trip to China in the summer of 2004.  He went with a group called, “Bridging the World” and their mission was teaching English as a second language to Chinese teenagers at a summer camp.  He chose which photos he wanted most and I printed them onto fabric and sewed them into a wall-hanging that he can view more easily than a photo album. 

Jennifer's Quilt     75" x 75"

I have told my family that I always want them to have by best.  My daughter-in-law, Jennifer, requested a memory quilt, using her cheerleading uniforms and photos.  I agreed and designed a quilt for her to hang in their new home (in the Dallas Cowboy room - the colors match).  This quilt was made by cutting the backs off of the uniforms and sewing them down in each of the blocks surrounding the photos.  The center is a collage of photos that were scanned into my computer and printed out onto plain, white fabric.  I then sewed the fabric to the quilt surface.  I made the label with my Bernina 730 embroidery machine.  I used denim on the back in order for the quilt to be able to hold the weight of the uniforms on the front without sagging.  I finished it this past Christmas 2009. 

Joshua is Justin's identical twin and is serving in the United States Air Force.   He has just graduated from the Air Force Institute of Technology with a Masters degree in Aeronautical Engineering at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base (AFB) in Dayton, OH.  He and his wife Stephanie are living in Edwards, CA and he is stationed at Edwards Airforce Base in rocket engine research.  Baby Simon Josiah was born January 28, 2012.

Below is a quilt created for the first Baby Hall in the family.

 Bunny Quilt for Simon - 46" x 56"

Joshua's Quilt - 82” x 90”

Commercial; Hand-dyed cotton

This quilt was designed for Josh as he was going off to his first year of college.  It is a memory collage of all his experiences and adventures from childhood.  He chose many of the fabrics with me from my stash and I included motifs with pictures symbolizing specific events and memories.  After 4 years of college it no longer looks as nice as this but at least I snapped a picture of it while it was still new.

Treasured Memories - 55" x 47” 

Xerox Iron-On Transfer Paper, inkjet printed photos, commercial cotton, hand-dyed cotton, monofilament thread, chenille yarn, netting, wool yarn. Machine quilted and embellished 

I designed this quilt for my son, Joshua as a memory photo collage so that he can see all 4 college years at once and all the places he visited and people he met.

“Trevor is one of the few post-Michael Hedges guitarists who have managed to incorporate that vast repository of innovation while having an artistic voice strong enough to steadfastly avoid imitation. However technically proficient Trevor is, he is not one of the swarm of guitarists who revel in guitar gymnastics for their sake alone. His technique follows artistic expression as it should. Trevor is capable of a range of styles while having every note seem to express something sincere and meaningful to him. This is a fine debut from a guitarist we will need to pay attention to.”

– Will Ackerman, Grammy winning guitarist/composer and producer, founded the influential new age label Windham Hill Records.

"...In the genre of intriguing guitar players Trevor really stands out. His music is both soothing and challenging..."
