I fell in love with art, stationery, and fabric at a young age.  I collected stickers, floral covered notebooks, small bits of fabric, ribbon, and a medley of craft items.  My first job in high school landed me in the fabric department of a local department store where I learned a great deal

about different kinds fabric.  I eventually taught myself how to sew and I’ve sewn on and

off for years with a myriad of craft and home improvement projects along the way.  I never

thought about making patterns for my fabric myself until a few years ago when I was

introduced to surface pattern design. It has been an eye opening experience and

I have fallen in love with making art again.  I love experimenting and I always

have more ideas than time, but I'm making progress one collection at a time.
