I have been sewing for 50+ years and credit my love of sewing to my mom.  In addition to sewing for myself and my family, I have:

• Mentored 4-H sewers at all levels

• Judged 4-H sewing at the county level and the Indiana State Fair Make-It-With-Wool contest

• Designed and sewn Western Pleasure horse show outfits for my daughter

• Sewn a christening gown using heirloom sewing techniques

• Won the Indiana Make-It-With-Wool contest numerous times

• Won the National Make-It-With-Wool contest in 2011

• Used couture sewing techniques to sew a Chanel inspired jacket

• Sewn wedding gowns for my daughter and my daughter-in-law

I retired in 2021 after 26 years of teaching 8th grade math. When I am not sewing, there is a  good chance I am weaving or knitting. My husband and I raise Quarter Horses and live with our two collies in rural Burnettsville.
