The Beginning ...
	Once upon a time, in a small "log cabin", far, far away ... it began. Sorry, no such luck!
I have no dramatic story to tell about why, or how, I started Deborah's Designs -- but doesn't the picture just have the start of a quilt design in it? We took the picture while on vacation in Montana last summer. Anyways, so you'll know a little bit about me . . .
	My husband, Larry, & I moved to Tucson in 1999 with our, then, three year old lab/terrier mix, Preston. It was a fun move — we love new adventures and we love the desert.
I started quilt making & eventually went to work at Cactus Quilt Shop. Not getting enough “quilting” at work, I started doodling & drawing in addition to making quilts almost non stop (to date, I've completed 150 quilts & have 30-40 UFOs). I’ve always wanted to have my own business & finally, deciding it was now or never; I left the quilt shop & went seriously to work at home and, on April 1, 2006, I launched Deborah's Designs.
	Not having enough to do with the launching of a new business, we enlarged our “family” the same week with the addition of six week old basset/beagle pup, Abby. Yes, we are doing night time “potty” breaks, feedings and teething all over again.

Seriously, all jokes aside, I am thrilled to be able to bring you Deborah’s Designs. I am committed to designing patterns which, I believe, are relevant to today’s quilters — traditional blocks; tried & true, whimsical & fun appliqué & lots of tips & tricks to make your quilts special.

Remember, my patterns are . . .
