Took a short 7 month break from posting here to spend more time on production sewing and custom pattern/garment work for clients. FInally felt like sharing some of my work again!
This is a free motion sewn watercolor paper collage I created with my sewing machine, floats and all (I’m a master at manipulating thread tension after all these years)! I have a series of pieces like this, and I’m wanting to circle back around to this idea and create more.
Inspired by::
•our paths in life
•how tiny decisions can change our trajectory
•chance encounters
•strangers turned friends, friends turned strangers
•past versions of ourselves we are connected to but no longer know
Imagine we were all stringing a thread along with us through our days, years, lives and now imagine how all our threads would be woven and tangled, how our threads would pull and mingle with friend and strangers and maybe even circle back to previous parts of itself. Yeah, the series is inspired by that sort of stuff.
I miss the familiar names and faces I connected with here on social media. Hopefully I show more of myself this year than last!

Hi everyone! I haven’t posted in awhile and figured this fun and mighty headshot I took recently for a special interview was a good reason to get back at it.
A Few Fun Facts for Re-Introduction::
-today’s my 33rd birthday. Weehee!
-I really love sewing and finding out all the things I can do with my power tool of choice - a sewing machine.
-I’m going paddle boarding with my family this weekend and this will be our 17th week in a row this year! We take our dog and our kids. It’s usually fun and sometimes relaxing.
- I’ve loved drawing since I was a kid. As an adult I’ve been interested in figuring out how to translate my drawings to stitching with thread.
-I used to say my favorite color was red orange, now I say vermillion, and that feels fancy!
-I love teaching people how to sew! Learning how to write, film, and edit an online sewing class was one of my work highlights from this past year.
I hope to share what I’m up to in my studio more regularly . Let’s see what happens! What have you all been up to lately?

Posted • Come and hang this Friday night for the second opening of our Faces & Landscapes show featuring some incredible artists in their very first shows! July 23, 5-8 pm, downtown Lee’s Summit. Also - free wine.
Last month we got rained out, so rain check! I won’t make it to this show tonight, but visit and peruse , , and my artwork! If you stop by, take a pic by your favorite piece of mine and send it to me.

Taking you all to some dreamy, faraway places with these collages - made with fabric scraps, handmade paper, and free motion sewing.
I’m framing them up this week and will not get them listed in time to ship and get for Mother’s Day. But who needs Mother’s Day when you can give a mother-lovin’ gift any day of the year!
