After 20 years as a costumer for Festival Theatre in St Croix Falls, I wanted to pursue new ideas, while staying close to fabric. I chose to explore bold colors, whimsical designs in cotton and linen. I centered my interests on practical usage, easy maintenance and, most of all, my passion for color.
It all started in 2003 when my daughter was preparing to be an exchange student and needed host gifts. I developed a bag design for many practical usages. She went to Brazil with 25 bags and I continued redesigning, Over time, My Little Bag was created.

My art background is in the practical application of many mediums, including, watercolor, basketry, costuming, quilting, improvisational quilting, glass works, pottery and the list goes on. I practice alternate mediums through classroom training once a year to expand my creative outlet, bringing fresh new ideas to the design table for My Little Bag.
