She finds using thread to its best advantage fascinating, and enjoys the what-if thinking that leads to making. Teri is inspired by autumn leaves, wrought iron, bridges, sunsets, pansies, mums, architecture, and quilts, of course. She lives in New York City and enjoys holding hands with her Sweetie.
