Reinvent Your Cherished Textiles

From storage box… to functional quilt, pillow, wall art…

Bring me your T-shirts, baby clothes, vintage linens and needlework, Grandma's aprons, Grandpa's shirts… special clothing and textiles you've been saving all these years. I can make something functional and attractive.

My work pleases me, and it is an added bonus when it pleases others too.
