Meet the Maker: 49stocker
I started crafting when I was a wee young girl, I often traveled to many craft shows. I am self taught learning some ideas from my Aunt and taking it from there. In about 2002 I opened my first online store. Now I have 2 wonderful blogs in which I sell my crafts in one and the other is about things I am working on, contests, giveaways, recipes adventures I am having and what ever else I can think of. I love making cloth dolls it is my favorite, but my quilts and crochet rag rugs have been moving up to second favorite with making rock cottages in a close third. My quits are quite different in that I use my cartooning to create them. That is right I once was a cartoonist and worked for 3 different newspapers making political and daily cartoons, also I did some cartooning for a book that was published called "BE BOLD GET OLD".

Skills and Techniques:
I am self taught in crocheting my rag rugs and baskets and I use many different kinds of fabrics when I crochet. I use my ways for staining and aging certain items I make by using all kinds of acrylic paints, wood stains and whatever else I can find. I am self taught in sewing all my dolls and stuffed animals and I will design my own patterns or mix and match all kinds of patterns, I also love going back into the past and using those vintage patterns. My quilts are called whacking and I love this form of quilting because I can use my cartooning and drawing ability, although sometimes I just start cutting to get idea going. I once was a cartoonist in Montana, a political cartoonist and I illustrated a book once called BE Bold Get Old.
