I grew up in America’s Dairyland. Not on a farm but in its largest city, Milwaukee. I moved to Georgia five years ago and love the Southern way of life.

It seems like I’ve always sewed. I started out making clothes for my Barbie doll by hand. My mother, who sewed most of my clothes as long as I can remember, had me practice straight lines and circles on the sewing machine before I tackled a pattern.  During high school I took Home Economics classes where I honed the skills that my mother had taught me.

As a self-taught seamstress I consider myself to be imaginative and one who is driven by an incredible passion for self-expression through my work.

When I’m not creating I’m enjoying my grandchildren;  playing the piano; writing; and a little bit of traveling.
