People often times ask me what I do in my spare time. I just simply tell them, "I play". My grandmother and mother were my early mentors; coloring with me, teaching me to sew at a very early age, and later on, teaching me to quilt. As I grew older and wiser, I wanted to learn more and play with all the possibilities of mixing the various mediums, which has brought me to where I am today; creating with fiber and exploring the "what if's". I live in beautiful Waxhaw, North Carolina, with my husband and three cats, Smokey, Suki, and Sophie. |
