I’ve been a Threads, and now CraftStylish, staffer for two years. I love all crafts! I learned how to sew, knit, crochet and embroider as a child but really stuck with sewing and knitting the most over the years. Right now I feel myself getting equally addicted to quilting, embroidery (again) and jewelry making as well. And, I just love paper. I love the visual and tactile quality of all of these crafts--the beautiful papers, lush yarns, the varied fabrics, and the sparkling beads and baubles. My proudest crafting moment was getting the job as editor of Craft Stylish Special Issues!!
