From Lori’s Notebook

  • Allan’s Wings

    Back in the winter of 2021 when my work was featured in What Women Create Magazine, I received a lovely email from Tricia in South Carolina who was touched by the article, enough so that she saved it in her files, knowing that one day she would reach out again.

  • From Lace to Snowflakes

    I was fortunate enough to have met both of my Austrian great-grandmothers.

  • Carmen’s Merienda

    It is always bittersweet when previous clients get back in touch to request a memorial quilt in honor of an additional family member who has passed away.
