I learned to crochet when I was about 14 as my aunt was teaching my grandmother. At first, I made a lot of afghans but then I discovered thread crochet and just loved it!! I started designing filet patterns in the 1990’s of farm theme projects to fit in with our farm life. Filet is my very favorite crochet to do. In 2014 my book Filet Crochet Table Runners was published which was a dream come true!! I have had many patterns published in various magazines as well as self-published. My husband and I have a grain farm and custom harvesting business as well as a small trucking company hauling our farm products. We live in central Maryland.
