Judy grew up in the lovely small town of Nelson, B.C. surrounded by the beautiful Kootenay mountains, lakes, and glaciers.  

           Later, she moved to Calgary, Alberta where she met her husband, Jason, and had 3 beautiful children. British Columbia called her back home and she now resides in Vernon.

     As an adult, her greatest love was to quilt.  She has worked in several quilt stores in the area, where she helped customers pick out fabrics for their patterns, and found a new love for teaching quilting classes.  

     One unique class came up at the quilt shop - nothing to do with quilting!  It was a Paverpol class.  To Judy's  delight, she was going to be able to create something other than quilts with fabric.  As matter of fact, the class called for an old T-shirt.  She took her first class and was hooked!  She has been creating Paverpol sculptures ever since that initial class and is now a Certified Paverpol Instructor.
