who is no big dill

Hello, I am Katy, the mad hatter behind no big dill.  I wear lots of hats, both figuratively and literally.  I like to change things up.  I am wife to Mr. Dill who shares his closet with a ridiculous stash of fabric and never complains that it is encroaching on his side.  That says a lot.  I am mother to 6 baby Dills.  5 of those are my girlies and our little exclamation point at the end of those beauties turned out to be a boy!  I had my doubts that was possible.  


I am the daughter of two artists, so creating was bound to be in my genes.  My mom says I got the best of each of them.  I have my mom's ability to do fine detail work and share her love of all things fiber.  I also love to dabble in lots of different genres of creating, which my dad does well.


Want to know more?  I started sewing as far back as I can remember, with a needle and thread in my hands.  I always wanted to go to design school, but designed some pretty fantastic kids instead.  Mrs. Price was my sewing teacher in High School who really gave me some great skills to start with and that's when I really fell in love with my sewing machine and it became a passion.


I enjoy playing the harp and the piano (and hope to own a baby grand Steinway one day), baking, the color orange, startling my kids by crouching behind a wall and jumping out as they come around the corner, artichokes dipped in butter, freshly cooked in-the-shell pine nuts, tickling Clover, growing herbs, arranging flowers, fiddling around with the camera, installing new vacuum bags, really hot showers, bee themed items (I aspire to own my own apiary), arranging my books, beads, buttons, thread, and fabric by rainbow colors, and last but not least, the sound of the dishwasher running.
