A book entitled “Homemade” was quite successful and led to many creative segments on various HGTV and TLC television shows and teaching workshops over the years. But, motherhood began to take more time and a different creative focus began. A passion for ‘all things stitched’ became the art form of choice for many reasons. Years of supporting an athletic daughter led to hours sitting on a bleacher. This time became the foundation of learning the art of stitching. The need to be creative had to become mobile for me, so this medium was perfect. Plus, a giddy zeal for vintage fabrics collected over the years provided enough supply to last a lifetime. Now, the nest is empty and my little bird is off in college and I have rented an art studio in a wonderful creative community. Now I am back to ALL things creative. I work in mixed media, jewelry, art, stitchery and anything I can put my hands on. I have been asked to teach classes and participate in shows everywhere. The creative world for me is blossoming….I love it.
