About the Artist:
I have always been interested in a variety of arts. I have been airbrushing since 1993, screenprinting & embroidering since 1997, and quilting since 1999. I have to admit that since discovering fiber arts, I have had a hard time focusing on other artwork. I just feel that I have to make "stuff" every day. That may take the form of quilting, or dyeing fabric or fibers, knitting some socks or mittens, digitizing patterns, or designing new patterns. I just have to make something every day.
My business Digi-Tech ( www.digitechpatterns.com) has grown considerably since I started out.
I now offer complete design services, screenprinting & embroidery for corporate & institutions, as well as individuals. I also provide custom longarm quilting services & over the last year I have added the Digi-Tech website where we provide downloadable quilting & embroidery patterns for computerized & handguided quilting machines, as well as hand quilters, along with machine embroidery formats available on many of the designs. My husband & I provide custom digitizing services for both quilting & embroidery designs. I have also begun to add many of the dyeing & dye-painting products that I use in class/workshops to the website along with my hand dyed fabrics, yarns, & rovings.
Thank you for taking the time to look. Jessica
