Artist Statement

Like most of you, I can't remember a time when I was not fascinated by yarn and fiber and cloth.  Learning to knit at an early age got this whole thing started.  Clothes for dolls, eventually a sweater for me, then a sweater for the boyfriend.  You know how it goes.  Learning to weave was a natural progression.  I have been weaving since 1996 when I accepted a job in the Textile Barn at the Landis Valley Museum in Lancaster, PA.  Prior to that I had been demonstrating wool processing and spinning at various historical sites in the Berks County, PA area.  I became a member of the Pennsylvania Guild of Craftsmen, first belonging to the Reading-Berks Chapter and now the Chester County Craft Guild.  I am juried for weaving and knitted felted items.
Choosing the yarns in all of their lovely colors and putting together a new project are just the beginning of the thrilling process.  Watching it unfold as I weave is just the best reward I know, second only to sharing these wonderful pieces with family, friends and customers.

I love creating beautiful fashionable scarves and warm shawls.  These can be accompanied by knitted felted hats and purses in a wide array of colors.
 
On the practical side, I also weave kitchen towels and table runners fit for your heirloom furniture.

My mission is to create one-of-a kind, affordable hand-crafted items for you and your home.  Being hand-crafted does not mean excessively expensive to own and enjoy.
Studio hours for shopping are by appointment.  Please call and I'll be glad to welcome you to see the fine handwovens I have created.  I also do custom design orders as well, whether for the fashionable you or your home.
