Meet FD Chick - Abigail Lenning

I am descended from recyclers and makers of things.  My Dad was an engineer and carpenter.  Materials from something no longer usable would be stored carefully and crafted into something new.  My Mom and Grandma recycled by making quilts and blankets and mending clothes.  These are my earliest influences.  These are also the women who taught me to crochet, to darn a sock, to cross stitch, to sew.  To this day I fret over throwing anything away.  Can it be used again someday in some fresh way?   

This is the experience I carry with me and want to impart as I make unique pieces for others for themselves or to mark special events with a friend or family member. 

With each stitch and snip, I imagine the individual receiving something special and hoping they feel special in return. 

This brings me great joy and fulfillment. 

And yes, it brings me delight. And as I  remind the people in my life, you may not realize it, but I’m an effing delight. 

Sincerely, 

FD Chick, Abbie Lenning
