Welcome! I’m a fabric designer, blogger, and author. The Long Thread began in 2007 when I was home with my young children and began creative explorations. Since then I have started an embroidery business, written two sewing books, designed twelve fabric collections, and made all kinds of crafty things with my kids. My background includes a B.A. in Art History and a Master of Public Administration with a focus in Non-Profit Management. I have also worked as a floral designer, museum educator and non-profit fundraiser. I’ve lived in Atlanta for over 20 years.
