It started when Alanna was little, around 5 years old, when her favourite thing to do was untangling the bakery string knots on car rides home from bakeries in Brooklyn.

Upon seeing her fascination with string, her grandmother taught her how to crochet. Slowly her inquisitiveness led to learning how to do needlepoint, which was a gateway into cross stitch, then embroidery, crazy quilting, hand spinning yarn, dyeing fibre, knitting, weaving & felting.

Alanna's love of the fibre arts was only rivalled by her enthusiasm to teach and inspire others about it. She gets so energized when she is able to combine fibre art techniques and teaching by writing books and leading workshops, allowing her to share her passion with others.
