I began sewing in 1965. In my family, learning to sew was no surprise. In 1974, my last year in high school, I decided to become a fashion designer, as it was the only career I could think of, that would allow me to earn a living having something to do with what I love the most… sewing. I started quilting in 1983 right after I closed my first design company in NYC. I moved to Asheville in 1984 and opened Tornado Clothing Company. In 1989, I bought what is now Curve Studios. Starting in 2003, I helped to found the River Arts District.

Now it is 2010. I live and work in Asheville’s River Arts District @ Curve Studios. You are welcome to come visit the studio 7 days a week from 11am to 4pm. Inside #6 Riverside Drive you will find me making my Extraordinary Quilts, my Fun Fleece or my Eclectic Clothing lines.
