Her collection ranges from the 1860s to present. Some of her collection includes a Penny rug (1860s), a Crazy Quilts (the oldest is from the 1890s) needlepoint, crochet, yarn and rag rugs, vintage handmade clothing and a feed sack quilt from 1936. She has an interest in the history of each craft she collects. She finds her pieces in thrift stores, church rummage sales, and estate sales.
