Designing, creating, crafting and sewing have been in my life since I was a child.

My mother's mother was a tailor.  My mother was only 4'10" tall and had to make her own clothes if she wanted to dress fashionably.  The hum of a sewing machine is one of my earliest memories.

When I was nine years old, those two women sat me down at my grandmother's old Singer and began teaching me the art of creating and sewing at home.

While I have gained other interests and hobbies during my lifetime, sewing has always been my main passion, and I truly enjoy creating things that make others happy.

Some of my creations include women's purses, wallets and checkbook covers; totebags and bluejean purses; placemats, napkins, table runners and oven gloves; and quilts.  Many of the appliques I use are designed and created by myself.

A new project in the works is unique, collectable pin cushions.  You will see one displayed very soon.
