I was raised in a family of artists and needleworkers and from the time I can remember I have been drawing, painting or stitching. There are a few things that hold a particular fascination for me such as the cutwork, quilting and beading shown on these pages. Inc. I have met many wonderful people all over the United States and some in Canada that share this love of needle arts and that is a big part of the pleasure in my work.
Cutwork is a very old technique that has enjoyed a resurgence of interest over the past few years.
I have been doing this work since childhood and have, over the years, developed a few changes in traditional methods that make the work very strong and lasting while remaining just as beautiful as ever. All of the cutwork shown on this site is original design and I hope to add a Gallery of some of the work of my students at some point. Quilting is something that has always held a special place in my heart. It is one thing that I do not have as much time to do as I would like, but I do take commissions from time to time and have quite a few waiting to be finished for myself. I love traditional pieced patterns and occasionally do them, but my first love in quilting is appliquet.
