A Little About Agilejack
I work and live in Portland, Oregon, USA.
Some think I maybe work too much. Although I enjoy my job, I work so I can do the things in life that I really enjoy. I know how to leave it behind at the end of the day.
When I do leave work behind at the end of the day I hang out with a lot of dogs, and a lot of dog people.
At home I hang out with three dogs.
Forrest is a 14-year-old Jack Russell and the apple of my eye (seriously… I LOVE this dog!).
Bender is a 4-year-old border collie who is loaded with enthusiasm, and loves everyone he meets.
Rico is my border collie puppy born November 1, 2016. He is an incredibly good puppy with an independent streak.
I’ve trained my dogs for and competed in dog agility for many years… although I’m currently not on the competition circuit — old dogs, canine health issues, and puppies. We’re working diligently on rectifying that!
To keep my mind sharp, keep my creative juices flowing, and to practice the mathematical skills I never developed in school… I quilt. I’m pretty new to the sport, and I love it. The thing that I get the biggest kick out of is figuring things out myself, and bright colors!
Ooh. Look. Some bright colors!
I really don’t have a desire to follow a pattern to a T. I want to riff off of an idea, bringing my own fabric combos, crazy bright colors, and obsessive drive to each new project.
Oh, and… I like to swear. Really like to swear.

A Change of Plans in Black and White
I left the second black and white leftover quilt blocks on my design wall for a few days and decided that I wasn’t loving what I had done because it felt chaotic and didn’t make any sense. I played with a different layout of alternating black and white zig zags and I like it so …
A Frankenbag Gift and More Leftover Black and Whites
I started this Frankenbag back in November to be a gift for a co-worker that I hired back in 2013 and worked with ever since. She had taken a job with a large internationally known non-profit organization and was leaving mid November. I had all the pieces stuck to my portable design wall since November. …
