My mother taught my two sisters and me to knit and sew at an early age. I spent a lot of years sewing clothes for myself and my family. Then, while living deep in the sticks in the early 2000s I decided I wanted to weave. A loom from Craigslist and a few hours of instruction and I was off and running, mostly self-taught due to my remote location. SO many “learning opportunities.” For several years I wove full-time while working for a paycheck part-time. Once I could finally retire and move to Rochester, my fiber interests expanded. And reverted to things I’d done in my teens. And morphed as I saw what other creators were making. Now you never know what I might be doing: weaving on my floor loom or my 4” pin loom, knitting, sewing, embroidery, thread wrapping, and more. I just make things that amuse me.
