My first published piece was submitted as a rather long letter to the editor in 1975. To date it remains the only time my work was used on the cover of a magazine. Living in Murray, Kentucky, with my college professor husband and three small boys, writing proved an excellent opportunity to publicize my work. Shuttle, Spindle and Dyepot Vol. VI #3, Summer, 1975.

On my fortieth birthday the editor of Shuttle, Spindle & Dyepot phoned to discuss the name of my column. "Notes of a Pattern Weaver" continued for a couple of years in SS&D and then moved to the The Weaver's Journal for s a couple more.
