About me

Location Athens,, TN, United States
Introduction I have been sewing since my grandmother taught me on a treadle machine at 6. I have been married for 39 years and have two kids and two grandkids. I was a secretary and office manager until 1990 then I started a doll business. I made folk art dolls and sold them wholesale in Gatlinburg TN. A few years later, I opened the CottonPatch Quilt Shop and sold fabric and taught quilting. I sold out in 2000 only to start CottonPatch Machine quilting after I bought an A-1 quilting machine. I love to sew, quilt, knit, rug making and now I am learning to weave fabric on a loom that my wonderful husband made me. I also love to organic garden!! Reopened the Cotton Patch in January, 2012 with the help of my granddaughter.
