Sewing is something I have enjoyed since I was a little girl. My mother loved to sew, knit, cross-stitch & needlepoint, and all three of my sisters are artistic and crafty. Over the years I have done lots of sewing, knitting, crochet and embroidery. In 2001 I became interested in creating quilts with authentic vintage and antique prints, and began collecting the fabrics, which has become a sort of hobby in itself. I mostly make quilts to be used on beds (including crib and doll). It’s one of the things I love about quilts — they’re not only beautiful artwork, but also a practical household item. My favorite part of the quilt-making process is the handwork, including piecing, quilting and embroidery.
In addition to old fabric, I also collect vintage embroidery transfers, quilt patterns, and children’s books (mostly nursery rhymes, ABC and coloring books), which I sometimes use as patterns for my embroidered quilts.
Thanks for visiting.
