Thank you for taking the
time to read a little about me and the
beginnings of 'My Favorite Things'.
I am the second
generation of my family to be born in the
scenic rural town of Bacchus Marsh in a
valley west of Melbourne, Victoria
Australia. I have three lovely boys (Ian,
Beau and Zac) who originally inspired me to
do a cross stitch family tree. It was from
there my love for craft began and is with me
today.
Over the years I
experimented with many and varied crafts
including cross stitch, embroidery, cloth
dolls, bears, mosaics, leadlight and
quilting. Fabric and thread became my
passion.
In 1999 my sister (Marg)
and I opened a patchwork shop in Bacchus
Marsh called MOM Fabricworks. With the
demand for classes I started to design
patterns for dolls, bears, bags and quilts
and discovered a new aspect to my passion.
We shut shop after 3 years due to other
commitments and with the encouragement and
support from my husband Graham, family and
friends I expanded on my few original
designs and 'My Favorite Things' was born.
I now have the enjoyment
of designing as well as making my own
projects. I gain inspiration from my home,
family, friends, beautiful surroundings,
students and customers alike. I would like
to take this opportunity to thank all of
them for their continued support,
encouragement and custom.
And I would like to thank
you for your visit to my site; I hope you
have enjoyed the visit.
Happy Stitching!
Cheers,
Kerry |
