The energy of the Pacific Northwest, the beauty that surrounds us, the light in my children’s eyes, my Home in the forest. These are just a few of the sources of my bubbling spring of sweet, soul filling inspiration.

I grew up in an Upstate New York farmhouse built in 1792. I’m a small town girl from Red Hook, NY, a little town in the Hudson Valley, nestled beside the Hudson River.

My story starts with my parents - creatives pursuing careers in the trades and craft. My mother is a seamstress and lifelong quilter, shown the ways of the needle by her Grandmother. My father is a Restoration Carpenter who learned the art of making old things new, and new old, from his father and the lessons taught by old barns, buildings and homes from another time. 

It was my childhood imagination, running wild as I sat below my mother’s sewing table, that eventually blossomed into a lifelong journey of creation. My 10 year career and professional background began with Interior Design. But with the shifts of life and in the dawn of early motherhood - oh those sleepless, wonderful days when your entire being and sense of all things shifts, something else started to click into place.

I answered the call from my soul to return home to my grass roots - textiles, patterns and quilts.
