IT'S IN THE BLOOD.

Most of the women around me did something with textiles. My maternal grandmother was a weaver and a knitter. My mother sewed and knitted. There were great-aunts who did embroidery and one or two who quilted. I picked up a few skills over the years and when I got married and had three amazing daughters, I took those skills with me as we started traveling the world.

We've lived in five different states and two foreign countries. Right now, Montana is home and where the shop is based. That history of 'women's work' of always having something for your hands to do has shaped most of my life. It has helped shape the work that I do now, and I am forever grateful to those creative and talented women.
