Lucy Ramshaw is known as FAF's "Mad Hatter." Lucy has been sewing all of her life, and her finished works show her skills as a wily seamstress and colorist. In addition to hats, Lucy makes aprons, bags, purses and animal bean bags. Lucy taught music, and then with her husband ran their flower shop in Lancaster, WI. Currently they live in MT Horeb, WI where Lucy is the musical director for a local church. Here's a picture of Lucy with friends in a few of her hat creations. Lucy is on the left middle--not wearing a hat!

Laura lives in Dunedin, FL and Grand Rapids, MI where both locations stimulate her work. She is a member of the Tampa Bay Surface Design Guild; The American Sewing Guild; and Prayers and Squares, a national organization that makes prayer quilts for seriously ill children and adults.
