About Me

I am a fiber artist (art quilts, bags, and weird stuff) and portrait painter.  My brother asked me to help his business by sewing leather pouches and dog accessories when his last guy retired.  So, I'm jumping in!

I'm from a region with that has roots in textile mills but no one sews much around here anymore.  So much so that my big brother had to turn to his vegetarian sister for help!  I have everything to learn about leather.  Since an animal gave its life, I want to make beautiful and useful things to honor it. 

After sewing 25 years, I finally got my industrial walking foot machine 3 months ago AND I LOVE IT! I look forward to being able to use my new and wondrous friend/machine ( his name is Fuji Mike: Protex TY-2156E) without having to call the repair dude once a month.
