Booth \n\n\n\nI’m an artist\, an author but most of all\, I’m a teacher who loves to inspire my students to stretch. My greatest joy is watching students get excited\, jump in fully and produce works that speak to them and others. \n\n\n\nI personally enjoy hours in the studio playing with fabric and threads\, experimenting with basic hand stitches and observing the “secrets” they reveal through play. \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nIn 2013-2014\, I wrote Fabric Printing at Home (Quarry Books 2014)\, a book that focuses on using household materials to create print blocks\, stencils\, and fabric resists. \n\n\n\nI’ve been a featured artist in three Quilting Arts TV series and have written several articles for Quilting Arts magazine on hand stitching and surface design projects. \n\n\n\nIn 2020\, I moved my teaching online. I teach workshops and classes in hand stitching as an expressive art medium as well as how to create beautiful\, hand stitched art objects. \n\n\n\nI’ve had and continue to have the pleasure of teaching experimental hand stitching projects and techniques for organizations\, guilds and conferences including TextileArtist.org’s Stitch Club (2020\, 2022\, and 2027); Quilt and Surface Design Symposium (2024); Artistic Artifacts’ Creative Minds Summit (2025 and 2026); Art Quilt Midwest (2025).
