When people ask me, “How long have you been doing this?” I reply, “I was born with a needle in my hand.” My love for needlework along with a creative spirit has been my life. I started selling my work at craft shows in 1980. In 1996 I met a pattern designer who encouraged me to design my own pattern line and as simple as it seems I published my first pattern that year. To date I’ve designed over 150 different patterns for cloth dolls, stitch work, appliqué, and punchneedle embroidery. I’ve learned a lot about photography, computers, and printing along the way. Most recently I’ve learned the process of screen printing for producing my punchneedle patterns. I love having the chance to teach others what I know and to encourage their own creative spirit. I thank the Lord for the blessings I’ve been given and look forward to the next design, Shawn Williams
