On to Other Things…<br />

In 1995 I became a Roycroft Renaissance Artisan.<br />

I have always been interested in the Arts <strong>and</strong> Crafts Movement.<br />

I devoted myself to printing works on paper instead of fabric.<br />

To be honest, I was tired of all of the sewing – now I sew just for pleasure.<br />

Rag dolls <strong>and</strong> doll clothes were my next obsession as well as clothes<br />

for my four gr<strong>and</strong> daughters.<br />

After that, I rid myself of tons of fabric scraps <strong>and</strong> sewing notions.<br />

My sewing room now features my collection of antique, toy sewing machines.<br />

I occasionally go up there to make some new curtains or do some mending.<br />
