Happy Thanksgiving!🦃🍁🍽

I am so very thankful for the opportunity to introduce marine canvas fabrication to new people! The fall workshops were a great success and a ton of fun! I look forward to seeing what these new talented fabricators create!

A wonderful opportunity to attend the Marine Fabricators Association (MFA) National Convention in Corpus Christi, TX last week. An amazing group of fabricators who continue to collaborate and teach each other to continue to elevate our industry. It has been amazing few months for me having received two International Achievement Awards and most recently two Marine Fabricator Excellence Awards in Corprus Christi. It was an honor to host the Marine Fabricators Awards dinner as Vice Chair of the association and of course sprinkle in lots of fun! I returned inspired and ready to create!

Just returned from the first (hopefully annual) European Marine Fabricators Conference hosted by TecSew in Solent United Kingdom.

A fantastic experience to learn and collaborate with other marine fabricators from around the world! I had the privilege to meet and exchange ideas with fabricators from the UK, Canada, Finland, Croatia, Brazil, Australia, Germany, Sweden, Greece, The Netherlands, Scotland, and the US!! Made new friends and arrived home inspired to implement new techniques and products from around the world.

It was wonderful to meet all of the fabricators this year and make so many new friends.
