I have been sewing since I was 4 yrs old learning quilting and garment making. Used both thru out my life including acrylic painting, pen and ink illustrations, making jewelry and cards from paper and fabric. Recently I have started designing my clothing to make. When I was working I was a graphic designer which has also helped me with some computer skills that I can apply to my designing. Since I retired I started teaching in my area , Sonoma County, quilt making etc. Lately I have been learning and doing Sashiko and Boro stitching.
