Maggie Bonanomi has always made things: first, doll clothes, and as she got older, decorations for her room, then later her home. For many years, she sold crafts and later, antiques. Textiles from the early and mid-19th century are her favorite to recreate. She travels, giving workshops and talks, and enjoys meeting everyone on the way. She currently lives in Lexington, Missouri with a wonderful family that includes children, grandchildren and a few great grandchildren.
