My weavings are very basic in technique, composition and color The process and finished product is a combination of weaving, embroidery and appliqué . They are woven on a small homemade frame loom with no moving parts. I’ve made my own stick shuttles, needles and beater.

I purchase raw fleece of various sheep breeds and colors, preferring wool with long silky fibers. The wool is hand washed, carded, spun and dyed if appropriate. I’m fairly new to spinning and love the process. It’s a happy place to be. I’ve realized that I can sometimes use underspun or overspun wool to an advantage for texture and depth.

I love to design crochet patterns.  Original items I make are featured at Southwest Virginia Cultural Center and Marketplace in Abingdon, Virginia.  I'm also a member of Holston Mountain Artisans at ​280 West Main Street, Abingdon, Virginia. They have many beautiful items in their shop.  Feel free to contact me if you want to feature my work in your shop, or if you have a custom order. I would be happy to create something just for you.
