Meet the Business Owner

Carol B.

Business Owner

Carol began sewing as a young girl. Her mother got her started and from there she experimented with different techniques. Creating became a way of life when Carol decided to stay at home with her two children and a very supportive husband. She started sewing home accessories and now enjoys sewing dolls, personal accessories, children and baby items. Carol also stumbled upon the old Russian art of Punch needle. This intricate art form, similar to rug hooking but with embroidery floss, requires patience with beautiful results. Carol has demonstrated and taught classes, even hosting a half-​hour local craft show on television. She has been in charge of costuming several community theater productions and loves what she is doing.
