As the oldest of three sisters growing up in western Pennsylvania, I quickly took to all things crafty: knitting, sewing, painting and more.

I learned these things through my mom's friends and her sewing teacher. At 11, I took over my mom's sewing classes and went on to make things for my mom and sisters. I made my mother's dress for my wedding! I took pride in my creations and the joy they brought their recipients. I went on to study Home Economics in college, furthering my education with clothing construction, design and merchandising. Many of my creations were at the height of fashion back then- knitted vests, 3 piece plaid suits, and a few Qiana creations!

As newlyweds, my husband and I moved to Georgia and I learned southern style and the art of smocking. It was quite serendipitous that I had my first child - a daughter- an instant model for these beautiful garments. I was in love -- they were like nothing I had ever seen before. Soon, I was making most of her clothes and teaching others how to smock, too. Our family grew by two - twin boys! - and they celebrated every occasion dressed in handsome john-johns and button-on suits.

Over the years, I've taught sewing, smocking and more to people of all ages and talent level. Though my kids are grown, I love sharing my creations and seeing them on children of friends and family. They have a special place in our family memories. I believe that all children should have some beautiful clothes for special occasions as well as everyday. I want you to have the utmost quality in pieces that you will cherish forever, too.
