| Introduction | I've been creating in one medium or another as long as I can remember. Never content to follow someone else's pattern ... I would allow my own creativity to generate ideas and turn them into finished projects ... and over the years there have been ... well ... thousands! I've created designs and patterns in knit, crochet, embroidery, macrame, beadwork, leatherwork, tatting ... and was obsessed with Silk Ribbon Embroidery for years ... having a total of five articles published over the years in this medium. Once bitten by the Crazy Quilting bug ... creativity took a whole new turn ... I love this free-form culmination of various mediums into one artform! These days I go with pretty much whatever path my creative mind cares to dabble in at the time and often have several projects on the go in various mediums. |
