Barefooted Weaver
Although my professional background includes roles as a Dental Assistant and Massage Therapist, my heart has always been drawn to intricate world of Fiber Arts.
My weaving journey began in the late 70s when a friend persuaded me to take a rag rug class at The Fiber Arts Studio in Waterloo, Iowa. That pivotal experience ignited a lifelong love affair with weaving. I've dedicated over 35 years to this craft , during which I had the privilege of studying under Master Weaver Mina Hallett , thanks to two grants from The Iowa Arts Council Mina not only imparted invaluable knowledge about weaving patterns , warping techniques , and yarns but also became a cherished friend.
My weaving style is deeply rooted in tradition, and I find joy in creating pieces inspired by American overshot patterns and Scandinavian designs. Natural fibers like cotton, linen, merino wool, Tencel, and chenille find their way into my weavings, adding a touch of authenticity to each piece.
I've had the pleasure of sharing my creations with the Midwest community, traveling alongside my family to participate in various Art & Craft sales. My collection includes a diverse range of woven items ,from rugs and scarves to placemats, totes, and purses. Each piece is a reflection of the passion and enjoyment I've poured into the art of weaving .
I sincerely hope that you derive as much pleasure from my rugs, scarves, placemats, totes and purses as I have experienced in weaving them .

FAQ: Hang Dry: After washing, hang your scarf to dry. Tencel dries relatively quickly, so there's no need for a tumble dryer. Avoid direct sunlight to prevent any potential fading.
Avoid Bleach and Harsh Chemicals: Steer clear of bleach or strong chemicals, as they can damage the Tencel fibers and affect the scarf's quality.
Handle with Care: Tencel is a delicate fabric, so handle your scarf with care. Avoid excessive pulling or stretching to maintain its shape and drape.
By following these care instructions, you'll ensure that your Tencel scarf remains as lovely as the day you first wore it.
