Margaret learned to knit from her grandmother and one of her cousins when she was eight. Her love of fibers and yarns found her working on a knitting machine for a knitwear designer for a time in her 20's in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Her Masters degree in Counseling / Psychology gave her the opportunity to learn more about the fabric of human emotion and relationship, though it didn't give her practical application with the color and texture of fibers, and her fingers longed to touch the yarns again. Landing in Jamaica, Vermont in 1993, she began weaving on the loom her husband, a woodworker, built for her. She now works in her studio shop in the center of Jamaica Village where folks are welcome to watch and purchase the weaving in process, as well as a treasure hunt of a variety of unique and coveted handmade works of over 100 local artists (come see the featured artist). A distinguishing characteristic of her work is a cross in many of her pieces marking the meeting place of the warp and weft fibers, signifying the place of connection for which our hearts yearn, and which illustrates the interconnected pattern of the colorful and rich fabric of our humanity.
