Sewing Mends The Soul

A little bit about me

I grew up loving the art of sewing.  My Mother and Grandmother were self-taught seamstresses, and I found my soul was always at peace watching them create and turn a yard of fabric into something that was handmade and beautiful.

In 2016 I received a life-saving liver transplant at UI Health in Chicago.  My Organ Donor, Tom, was a 25-year-old young man who lost his life in a tragic accident.  Tom had left several lifesaving gifts including one for me.  I honor Tom daily and am forever changed by the Grace of God and Tom’s gift plus the generosity of his family.

I hope you enjoy your handmade item made by me and I hope you make every minute count in this crazy thing called life…

Keep your face to the sun and you will never see the shadows.     ~Helen Keller
