While staying with my mother-in-law in 1984, I wanted to learn to
crochet. My mother-in-law Ethel, my daughter Deina and I were trying to learn the different crochet stitches. We all tried to figure out how to make the same Vintage Pineapple Doily Pattern. When we finished, we each ended up with a different number of pineapples in our doily. The amazing thing was that all of our doilies laid flat.
I didn't know it at the time, but I was about embark on a new passion
crochet. Every time I crocheted I wanted something new and a challenge to complete. It wasn't long and I had made every thread crochet pattern that I desired to make and could not find any more that were up to date, that is when I started about a year later designing my own patterns. My first designs were some flower baskets and flower holders that I made for my sister's wedding. When we moved into our new home, I designed some Pineapple Valances, for the three bay windows in my living room. A friend suggested I submit my designs to some publishers which I did, since then I have had leaflets published with Leisure Arts, American School of Needlework, Design Original, Coats & Clark and other Publications.
