Born in Camrose, Alberta.
Needlework has been an integral part of my life for almost 50 years. I can remember as a small child, looking up at my Mother and Grandmother, watching them doing some sort of needlework.
Stitching became a part of my life at six years old and was taught by some of the best.
Through my Mother's mentorship, needlework became a key focus and balance in my life.
When having a family a lot of time was spent doing needlework due to difficult pregnancies.
Many thought I would never complete these three pieces.
