Founder, Midwest Fiber Arts Trails
I’m a Midwestern gal. Both sides of my family have deep roots in the Midwest and I love the beauty of the land, the work ethic and the distinctive culture of this region.
One of the things I’ve learned about myself over the last few years is that I’m very good at making connections between people–I’m a connector. What a perfect way to utilize that talent by connecting people who love fiber arts with each other. It’s really that simple. See you on the Trail!
