I bought my first little sewing machine about 3 years ago, so I'm very new to quilting. I've fallen in love with fabric. I started out with a small basket of fabric and now it fills 2 book shelves. I have an art background and have enjoyed many years of fiber arts with loom weaving and basketry. I also dabble in clay. Since I enjoy art and drawing and painting so much I started drawing on my fabric too. Every day is a new experience and I enjoy every bit of it. I am very interested in oriental arts and I'm learning sumi painting and plan to have that as part of my fiber art in the near future.
