In My Studio

I grew up in a crafting and sewing home. I can remember my mother was always making something, either for me or my sisters, and it eventually evolved into her making things for other people. I dabbled a little bit in wood burning, oil painting, cross-stitching and crocheting but never had a passion for any craft in particular. Then in 1993, I gave birth to my first daughter, Courtney and not long after that, I began sewing dresses for her and her dolls. I even made matching outfits for the both of us and loved the idea of our “mother/daughter” dresses.  Then one day she informed me she was too big for that, and sadly, I put my machine away and had no reason to take it out again.

However, life is full of changes and adventures, and 17 years later, I was blessed to have another little girl, Anna Laura! My passion for sewing has returned and between living on a ranch, raising a toddler and running a non-profit missions organization (Crosspoint International), I try to take every extra moment I can find to escape to my in-home studio to create unique, one-of-a-kind outfits for Anna, my friends and other family members!  My mother owns a sewing shop in VA and my sister runs one in NM, so it kind of runs in our blood.  They are both Baby Lock dealers, so I am blessed to have top of the line machines; a six-needle Baby Lock EMP embroidery machine, a Baby Lock Ellageo embroidery/sewing machine and a Baby Lock Evolution serger. I am also an admitted fabric hoarder!

In My Studio, you will find the latest items in my collection, along with some sewing tutorials and craft projects that would be great for your own home or to give as gifts to your friends and family.  Thanks for stopping by and I hope something in this section will inspire you to unleash the hidden passions you have been harboring for so long ~ now is the perfect time to start a new (or old) hobby!
