History

Established in 2002.

Ever since I can remember, I have loved to do needle-​work of one sort or another. My father always told me that I took after my Grandmother «Maggie,» who was ‘born to the needle.’ Luckily, I was able to acquire some of her work and still treasure those pieces, which she created when she was alive. The most wonderful thing of all was inheriting some of her abilities. Through the years, I never quite felt that I had achieved what I wanted to with my work. One day, my husband brought home a magazine article about a farm where they taught spinning, weaving, and dyeing. — Needless to say, I immediately got on the phone and found out when their next class was. From that day on, my focus changed to a whole new world of creativity and possibilities. Now, I could create a work of art completely and totally. Each step is completed with my heart and soul as ingredients, and the finished product is «one of a kind.» I hope I can share my knowledge to make YOUR DREAMS come true, also.
