My art is imperfect.

A unique fabric collage featuring a red heart outline, a key, lace edges, and a purple rose image at the bottom.

A close-up of a pink rose photograph with textured fabric and lace borders, featuring zigzag stitching details captures the essence of unique art.

I am not a sewer, let’s just put that right out there.  I think it is so fun though to use the sewing machine as a tool for collages.  I just started doing it and wow, is it so much more fun to use a sewing machine that actually works as opposed to a junky one that does not work half the time.  My art is imperfect.  There is no way around it.  I can’t sew a straight line, I can’t paint like Monet, but you know what, that’s ok.
