After years of creating fun stuff for family and friends and designing graphics for clients and employers, I have decided to create fun stuff for everyone!

My sweaters came from the love of textures and cuddley sweaters - and the lack of patience to knit the unique sweaters I wanted to wear! I started experimenting with using some of my quilt piecing techniques to make new sweaters out of old ones. Since then, new techniques (and new machines) have made producing them both structurally better and more efficient.

Several years ago I dusted off my old sewing machine and found the joy in making art quilts and clothing. Many of my quilts have been in shows and homes across the nation, but there are only so many beds and walls for quilts. I decided it would be much more fun if my quilts were seen walking down the street and if people could wrap themselves in them all day instead of just at night! So my jackets were born. they are in my other shop - quilt2day.etsy.com
