I have been a self employeed kaleidoscope artist along with my husband since 1989.

He is a wood worker and I love working with color

. Therefore I lampwork the glass that makes our interiors in our kaleidoscopes plus other things.

I am also a quilter and a long arm quilter (which means that I take someone quilt top and back along with batting and do the quilting on it.) I have a special machine that I do this on that takes up 1/2 of our garage that we had to convert over to my studio. Plus I do the bookkeeping, shipping, sales calls and our web site.

If anyone is interested in seeing our web site PM me and I'll give it to you. Not sure if I can post it here. I have been very lucky to be able to do something that I love and that is to bring color into the world. Everyone needs color in their lives.
This allows me to have Mattie

with me 24/7 which I am loving.
