After a 35‑year career in accounting, she returned to the Midwest and now spends her days designing, sewing, and exploring the full capabilities of her machines.
She has pursued a wide range of textile arts, but always comes back to sewing and embroidery. Janis devoted a full year to mastering IQ Designer and was thrilled to win the 2024 Baby Lock IQ Designer Contest. She now shares her passion through teaching, offering training in IQ Designer, sewing, and serging to help others grow their skills and creativity.
