My Bio
All Yarns begin with a fiber…

Quirky Bits –n- Pieces began with the simple intention of creating meaningful art pieces worthy of becoming heirlooms. Inspired by the family-made blankets, clothing, needlework and sculptures that have been passed down from generation to generation, mother and daughter Deborah Tingler and Kristen Rice weave the fiber of memories and heritage into all they do. From handspun artisan yarns and yarn holders to hand-sculpted confectionary stands, each Quirky Bits –n- Pieces creation is brought to life using timeless techniques.

With more than 55 combined years of crafting experience, Deborah and Kristen set out to illuminate the joys of their art while minimizing the frustrations that often arise during the process. They designed A Bit of Ewe Artisan Yarns and Tools to inspire and empower crafters to create handmade, one-of-a-kind masterpieces, while inspiring future generations to do the same. They created Le Petit Gateau du Temp Perdu confectionary stands to capture the joyful spirit of gathering for a meal, honor the past and create newly cherished memories for the future.

First of all, the bunnies! See all that room they can play in? They are not in their hutches all the time, only when I can’t be there to supervise them. They love to chew on cords! Next is my sewing setup, complete with dog/cat/bunny bed under the ironing board. Plenty of cutting room!... Read more at http://www.quirkybits-n-pieces.com/i-think-i-finally-have-my-studio-setup/
