ABOUT PHYLLIS
I really enjoy and have fun with my career. I work from my home studio designing fabrics, quilts and other sewing and needlework items. I also design other products for the gift and home decor market. I’ve been designing professionally for 23 years, although I started designing unprofessionally when I was old enough to use scissors.
My career started with needlework (embroidery and cross stitch), with each career step leading to new mediums and techniques, including quilt design, authoring quilt books books and fabric design.
With one of the companies that I designed for, I designed textile products for worldwide sales. These products were mainly Christmas items such as tree skirts, stockings and decorative ribbons as well as everyday products of placemats and tablerunners and decorative gift bags.
I love to paint and am working with having my art licensed in many other areas, including on gift and home decor products.
My formal training began at the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa, AL, where I obtained a B.S. degree in Interior Design. My home studio is located in Birmingham, AL, where I live with my husband and my lucky black cat.
