I really enjoy sharing my passion for maintaining excellence, quality, beauty and joy in the process and practice of fiber art. I want to honor the human skills involved, keep them from becoming a dying art and acknowledge the rich heritage, the diversity and multicultural history of handcrafted textiles. I try to stay mindful when sourcing my materials, thoughtfully choosing sustainable, natural and renewable resources................... I love the notion of slowing down in order to have quality rather than quantity in life. The idea is that fashion should be less dependent on rapidly changing trends and colors (fast money for the rich) and more about quality, sustainability, and thoughtfulness in design and materials. The things we create we should make with care and there should be an expectation that they will have meaning to us. Herein lies great Joy in the creative process. ........................ I work in my studio in our Century Farmhouse on the northern (Canadian) shore of Lake Ontario in the small island farming community of Prince Edward County. I have been knitting, spinning, sewing and quilting as well as hand painting yarns and fabrics for these crafts for many many years.
