Betty Pillsbury - Crazy Quilts & Embroidery and Green Spiral Herbs
bpills@midtel.net
Welcome to my world of fantasy created with needle and thread. I'm an award-winning textile artist and instructor and author specializing in crazy quilts and all the hand work that goes into creating them. I am an herbalist and a contributor for Mother Earth News Herbal Living and I make products for Beekman 1802.
I keep a blog at www.GreenSpiralHerbs.blogspot.com There, I talk about herbs and crazy quilts.
