Welcome
Barbara began sewing on her mothers treadle machine at about 5 years old. One of her fondest memories is finding a patchwork bag full of fabric circles and yo-yos in her grandmother's attic. This was the start of a lifetime of collecting and creating from fabrics, fibers and a wide variety of colors and textures.
Barbara’s quilts have been shown all over the United States including the American Quilter’s Society Quilt Show in Paducah, KY, International Quilt Festival in Houston, TX, and the Mid-Atlantic Quilt Festival in Hampton, VA. as well as juried and invitational shows. She has won numerous awards including a Hoffman Challenge Award, for her original quilts, her imaginative dolls, and her innovative machine needle felted projects.
She offers workshops in machine needle felting, art dolls, and quilting. Barbara is known for her original designs, and her passion to bring out a creative energy and enthusiasm in her students.
Take a look at her Workshops and current Teaching Schedule, as well as the unique items in her Store. New needle felting workshops are continually added to her schedule. Feel free to contact her for the latest additions.
