Her whimsical, but practical items caught Leslie's eye and her love for teaching caught Ro's. She runs her business full time with her husband, Mike. They have 3 boys and live in Minnesota, where the summers are wonderful and the winters are long! She learned to sew in high school and has loved it ever since.  She is now enjoying the opportunity to connect with crafters all over the world through her teaching platform. Sit back and enjoy this fun-filled conversation with a fantastic quilty, crafty friend!
