Handwoven kitchen and tabletop textiles
Hello, friends. I am gearing up for September and October fine craft shows which means I have been working to replenish my inventory of diamond twill kitchen towels. The diamond twill towels were best sellers at the League of NH Craftsmen's Fair in August. Here is one version that I've just finished in time for [...]
The 2018 League of NH Craftsmen's Fair is a wrap! This was my second year as a nine day booth holder. It was lovely to see so many familiar faces and to meet new folks, too. Several of my designs sold out this year: For the kitchen... For the table... I'm back at work at [...]

The "Truffula Trees" placemats are finished and I'm pleased with the results. A set of four mats will be my entry into the next League of NH Craftsmen exhibition, "Fairytales and Fantasies," which opens April 6, 2018 in Concord, NH.
