My Great Grandmother was my inspiration when it came to anything pertaining to sewing. There wasn’t anything that she couldn’t do when it came to fiber arts.

As a young girl, I wasn’t very interested in sewing but once I entered the work force the economics of making my own clothes won the battle. That was the beginning of my love affair with fiber arts. Family and my career became the most important things in my live – my passion for creating fell by the wayside. That is until an opportunity to make a career change occurred in November of 2000. In 2001, Hilltop Custom Embroidery was created. Now I am able to devote my energies to my passion – creating custom apparel and gifts with needle and thread.

I love what I do. I’m still amazed at how an embroidery design comes to life as it is sewn on fabric.  My eye candy is the large assortment of vibrant thread colors that I use in designs. And there’s always a new technique to experiment with and new gadgets to try out. The best part is meeting new people and helping them achieve their embroidery and apparel goals.

I dedicate this web site to my Great Grandmother – for all she taught me, for her never ending patience, for all her inspiration and for her love – if only she could see me now!
