About Me
-
I believe we can all be kind. And that we all have impact. I have been blessed with the opportunity to be creative & impact my friends in Kampala Uganda.
Over the many years of traveling with Terry, my husband, to work with schools in Uganda, East Africa, I have been able to bring the most amazing, unique fabrics back. Needle Pulling Thread is my way to share stories & treasures from Uganda, East Africa at quilt shows & venues around the area. Check out our events page to see where NPT will pop up next. And read about the adventure in the "Story Behind The Fabric"

I love color.
-
I love texture.
-
I love fabric.
Okay, it’s an addiction. And it’s inherited. My mother has it. I dare say my daughter has it too.
Not long ago I figured out that it’s not the act of sewing the fabric that makes me happy. It’s truly just the fabric. And I’m okay with that. I’m a collector and sometimes I cherish a piece of fabric so much that I wouldn’t dream of cutting it.
-
I love slip stitching. So, I love binding a quilt by hand. And I love Dresden Plates.
-
I have very traditional training. I have a degree in Home Economics and in Business. Yes, it was called Home Economics back then and it wasn’t about getting married. It was very technical and hard.
-
I like to press. With steam. So my work is flat and I almost always press my seams open. I trim. Less bulk. That’s the formal tailoring training in me.
-
I love to hand bead and embellish on my pieces.
-
And I love Airedales. Well, I love dogs – but I especially love Airedales!
