History

Established in 1989.

I have always sewn and made my own clothes, and my sister opened a store in Bettendorf, IA called From the Heart. She taught tole painting in ongoing classes and one day classes. She asked me to start making the items, used in the classes, such as tote bags, aprons, and shirts. I starting making soft sculpture items to sell in her store, when she went out of business, I headed to new stores and shows to sell my items.

Business Owner

I design, manufacture, and do retail Shows and Stores. I have always love to sew, and when I started making craft items, I would take a pattern and change it into my own design. I then expand my ideas into different items using fabric, fiberfill, and now recycled items such as old Jeans, and clothing. I altered them or cut the items up, to use in a new way, making creative, one of a kind Items. I might make 20 snowmen, but all are different, and I have been told, hard to choose just one. :)
