For over 30 years I designed patterns and creative books & items for my own company, Patches of Joy, as well as numerous other companies in the national home sewing market. As the industry has changed, so has my focus. I now create specialty items to be sold in boutique stores, art galleries and at art shows. Designer handbags, jackets & decorator pillows are my main interest.
I have collected a diverse assortment of fabric & trims, ranging from silk to vintage home decor. I continue to add both old and new fabric, trim, purse frames and handles to my stash in order to create one of a kind designs.
