About Felted Heart

Felted Heart fashions a green line of whimsical wool clothing and accessories. Handcrafted, one-of-a-kind garments and accessories are made with repurposed wool, reflecting a commitment to environmental sustainability. Unique designs include a fanciful rainbow of felted wool ponchos, cotton tees, onesies and infant gowns festooned with wool appliqués, and a line of woolly accessories for grownups. Felted Heart products can be purchased on-line, in our studio in the city's historic Old Fourth Ward neighborhood, at independent boutiques, or catch us at a local festival.

About The Artist

How would you describe your business in exactly three adjectives?
Whimsical, Woolly and Fun.

What are your most popular products?
People can’t resist the little woolly ponchos for a special little girl or the baby gown and hat set with sweet peas, peanuts and peeps for a unique baby gift! The whimsical grownup scarves are warm and woolly and just plain fun!

People may be surprised to know…
I ran in the Women’s Olympic Marathon Trials in 1996 and 2000, finishing in the top fifty percent. The discipline of training taught me how to set goals and persevere in business.

What or who inspired you to start your business?
As a stay-at-home-mom I was inspired by my children to find something I love doing that fit my new lifestyle. What keeps me going is my fond memories of my little girl twirling around in her first Felted Heart Poncho, my son’s creative input and my husbands love and support.

Who is your role model or mentor?
All the women I have met along the way that are juggling family and business and have taken the time to share their experience, strength and hope with me. You know who you are girls!

What is your indulgence?
An hour-long run, a big mug of dark roast coffee with lots of cream, and sewing in my studio for hours in creative solitude.

Warm Fuzzies!
