Because I was making mostly evening wear, (prom dresses, bridesmaids, etc.), I ended up with Pzazz....because everyone could have a little more pzazz in their lives.

What's your story?

I love your story. My avatar (and I've written this before) showcase some of the hundreds of butterflies I rescued from being taken to the dump! Long story short: I was helping an old friend clean out her house when I heard these sounds coming from the box I was carrying out to the trash pile. I dug through the old papers and magazines stacked on top to find Sunbonnet Sue, the butterflies, some crazy quilt patches, and some other squares all nestled within. I still believe it was Sunbonnet Sue crying out to be saved. These squares had been hand pieced by a lady named Sally Carter sometime during the 1950's and 1960's. My friend wanted me to have them because she knew I would treasure them so. I have given many of these squares to those who love them.

Here's my final crazy thought. Since that day I have had butterflies surround me whether they're real or someone gives me butterfly fabric or even pieced butterfly squares. Butterflies bring happiness.
