About the Instructor:
After leaving the business world behind in IN 2006, I was able to pursue my lifelong passion of working with fabric. I have a special affinity for incorporating old linens and repurposed items into my work. Somewhere along the way I discovered combining paint, dye and paper with fabric. The possibilities are limited only by ones imagination. It gives me great joy to share my enthusiasm and skills of sewing, quilting, card making, ice dyeing, bag making, and gelli printing.
