High school librarian by day, crafter for life. I'm a certified BurdaStyle teacher, award winning embroider, quilter and knitter. I advise a high school sewing club as well as volunteer with Days for Girls and church prayer shawl ministry. Please note, during the summers my schedule is more flexible when school is not in session. Students will find I'm passionate about all needle arts and want to pass that along to all generations and skill levels. Learning to sew, knit or hand embroider can be intimidating, but with the right support can become a lifelong hobby that provides joy to your life. Let me show you how to get started. I look forward to helping you exercise your creative side.

Dawn is a superb teacher! I was an educator or 30 years and it is not often I find someone who can make something so new and challenging seem so easy and fun. I am so pleased to see that this old art form is being kept alive!
My 11 year old daughter benefitted immensely from Dawn's instruction on quilting. Dawn went the extra mile with carefully laid out instructions, her patience, and enthusiasm. The only reason we've paused for the moment is my daughter's end of year schedule has gotten a bit busy with sports. She has absolutely loved quilting lessons with Dawn.
Dawn is a wonderful instructor. She is very knowledgeable. Patient and willing to answer my questions. I had concerns about my ability to learn sewing, but Dawn has helped my confidence greatly. I plan to continue my sewing journey with Dawn:)
