I have always been a “maker”. One of my first memories is disagreeing with my kinder garden teacher on how to color a circle. At 10, I got my first sewing machine and made my own clothes and sold crafts in school. In high school I began painting, and sold whatever I didn’t give to…

A souvenir is a memento of a time and place, so surely, all things we chose to surround ourselves with are souvenirs. I like the irreverence of putting them on pedestals, thus making them icons.…

I fell into the quilting/fabric world quite by accident. In 2012, a friend shared with me that she was making a quilt. I asked her, “What do you mean, making a quilt?” She took me to her house, and that….was that. I’m so far down that rabbit hole, and I have no desire to get…
