Welcome to my website, where you can see examples of my work and connect to my Etsy shop.

 

​I have been making textile pieces to live with for almost two decades and I love what I do.

 

All of my rugs and mats are completely handmade and I use only fabric that I find, that is, vintage, old, recycled, re-purposed.  My roving pieces are often locally sourced and milled wool, some within 10 miles of my studio.  The core of my work is a focused, heartfelt effort to address the growing mounds of textile waste in our landfills by using existing 

materials rather than buying new, which only furthers demand.  

 

But also, choosing to use "old" fabrics is a way to honor the spirit and roots of handmade home goods. Until relatively recently, fabric was expensive, and hard to come by. Any scrap would have been carefully used and reused for clothing and eventually household items.  Only when worn beyond other uses were fabric relegated to the rag bag for rugs, quilts, decorative items.  My use of already existing fabric is a nod to the creative spirit and origins of this women's work.

 

​Each of my rugs and mats is made with patience, skill, and with traditional techniques; each is unique in design and fabric. I also aim to make a good looking article that will bring years of enjoyment, as it becomes an heirloom.

Peace and harmony.
