As I begin my first blog, I am a bit nervous, nevertheless, I'm making the plunge.  I have wanted to start a blog to have a place to display my love for textile arts. Although I don't have a formal education in textile arts or design, I have a love for fabrics, trims, threads, and anything textile. I enjoy putting together several types of fibers and fabrics and watching how they come together. Sometimes I end up with a beautiful product, but sometimes it's just a learning experience of what not to do.

My love for textiles began when I was very young, learning at my mother's feet. My first projects included embroiered handkerchiefs and doll clothing. Over the years my interests have expanded into many more areas of textile art including embelling fabrics with an array fibers. I am self taught in crochet, knitting, doll making and jewelry making.

Look for photos of some of my project in future blogs. Please feel free to leave constructive comments or ideas.
