Floral is a thirty-something wife and mother. Self-taught, she aims to create clothing and useful items for her family. Sometimes it actually happens. She embroiders and is beginning to explore the world of English Paper Piecing, mostly because hand-stitching in front of the TV doesn’t wake her pre-schooler. Living and operating in western Washington state, when not sewing, or cleaning, or cooking, or laundering, she spends time with her horse. Floral is also very interested in urban homesteading and seeing what the HOA will let her get away with living in a rental home in the suburbs.
