About
My name is Mary Ellen. I was brought up in Central New York by a wall paperer/painter postal worker father and a very talented knitter/crocheter/embroiderer state stenographer mother. They instilled in me a strong work ethic and a need to create art in my spare time. Now after 30 years, I’m taking an early retirement from the post office to start working on my art, which includes quilting, knitting, crochet, sewing, and embroidery in a rather eclectic mix.
I live a quiet life, still in Central New York, with my husband, a dog and two cats. Our three sons are grown and on their own, no grandchildren yet. I’m about to have a lot of time on my hands and am looking forward to doing all those things that have been on my list for so long. Reading, travelling, maybe try some new arts like pottery and weaving.

Mary, I love your shower curtains.I just bought a log home and would love to have some custom made.I have some fabric that I purchased at a quilting show and would mail it to you.I love the log cabin pattern but it would be your decision after you saw the fabric.And of course you would need to add fabric to the fabric I send you.Thanks and look forward to hearing from you,Sonya
Mary, I sent an earlier post or I think I sent it.I would like some shower curtains made from some fabric that I purchased at a quilting show.Look forward to hearing from you.
Hey Mary Its Sonya I love the shower curtains you made for me.I was wondering if I mailed you more material if you would make me one more set.There is no hurry.Thanks
Hi Sonya, I’d love to make you another curtain, I probably won’t be able to do it right away. I’m working full time through the month of December. How about the first week in January?
That’s fine later if need be. No hurry just let me know when your ready and I will mail the material.
You can send the material whenever it’s convenient for you. Do you want this to be a log cabin too?
Yes
Your patchwork doll is beautiful. I would love to buy one from you. I am fighting breast cancer and I can so relate to her. Patchworked together after surgeries but beautiful!
Let me know if you are selling these. Thanks. Joni
