Doris Barnes

Biography

I love all things related to sewing and quilting. I started sewing in Mississippi when I was a very young girl. I learned to sew and quilt from my grandmother. She patiently taught me how to create unique items. I have always made my clothes for work and play. I love the process of creating unique things for me to wear, for my unusual personality. I use non-traditional style patterns and bold colors.

I am an award-winning quilter. I quilt seven days a week. There is an empty space in my heart if I go a day without quilting. It is my passion. I teach quilting at my church and make many charity quilts for the sick and the shut-in.
