Jeanette has been creating and sewing liturgical textiles for over 23 years.
She began by sewing doll clothes at the tender age of 9, progressed to sewing her own clothes in high school, and turned to two dimensional fabric work in her early 30s.
A college degree in music probably has some transference, but serves mostly as a way to interact with beings other than cats.
Gus is the main studio cat, chasing out Shansie occasionally if she trespasses on his territory (He has a sleeping basket on the cutting table).
Formerly in charge of quality control, Gus was demoted to the shipping department for failing to show up for work often enough.
Shansie is definitely in charge of fabric inventory.
With the best eye for color, she knows exactly which ones show off her Siamese blue eyes to best advantage.
And of course, she sheds the most, so if a stray cat hair arrives with your work it's probably hers.
