I have always had an interest in crafts and have more recently specialized in machine embroidery. Machine embroidery digitizing was always one of my goals but it takes time to become proficient enough to be able to digitize your own designs especially with the advancement of information technology.
I started dressmaking and then experimented using a variety of mediums to make craft and then hand knitting followed by machine knitting. My mother was a proficient dressmaker and crafts person and I think this was where I inherited my love of crafts.
I started making crafts for my family and friends and from there went on to teach dressmaking and machine knitting more recently tutoring machine embroidery and digitizing.
Paper crafting making cards and scrap booking is another interest I have and enjoy using a dye cutting machine to create original designs.
I was very fortunate to be able to attend three digitizing retreats in Australia and be tutored by one of the best at that time. Since then I have continued to improve and extend my skills through various internet based learning opportunities.
I especially enjoy making original quality designs using quality materials.
I hope you enjoy my crafts as much as I enjoy creating them.
