After 10 years of teaching 1st and 2nd grades, I made the decision to become a stay at home mom. I started card making when my oldest was born, I thought it would keep me sane. My skills have finally evolved to a point where people take notice. To date, I've been on 9 design teams including my current positions at Creative Card Crew and Sweet Sketch Wednesday.
I love everything crafty: card-making, painting, scrap-booking, knitting, and quilting I am addicted to lovely paper and have found that my obsessive love of the pretty works just as well with fabric. I will work hard to make sure that your project is amazing!
LoreeI started sewing when I was about 8 years old with my Grandmother. I learned to quilt in 1997 while I was living in Hawaii. It was a love of fabric, machinery and art that brought me to quilting.

Fabric arts are my passion and I enjoy seeing what can be expressed by just a simple stitch. I look forward to making your quilt a piece of art.
