About the Author
I came from a very supportive family of creative gifted parents; no matter what room of the house I went into I learned something.I graduated from the Fashion Institute of Merchandise and Design and I continue to experiment in all areas of art and craft.I am fascinated by design in general; and concentrate specifically in the techniques of embroidery, quilting, ribbonwork, mixed media and jewelry making. When people ask me how long something takes me to make, I tell them a lifetime, because everything we do is the sum of that experience and wonderful journey.
