This is indeed so exciting to share my story with the readers of Where Women Create.
Jo Packham has done an outstanding job at creating a community of artists that want to share their talents with one another and my story although different is similar to many of us who raise a family and try to carve out some time for ourselves. It’s not always easy but the benefits are out of this world. My son was diagnosed in kindergarten with ADD. And then my daughter upon entering 5th grade suffered with Lyme disease for 5 years not attending very much school for two of them. So we all have our struggles, the importance for me was to have faith, take time with God and surrender to what is, ask for help and enjoy the grace periods of creativity. Believe me I’m human and wondered if I’d ever get where I’d like to be but what I’ve learned is that I am right where I am supposed to be.
How refreshing is that??
Sis Boom the place where I live and work is my refuge. It is a chance for me to begin my legacy. It all starts for me with collaging my journals by choosing anything from magazines that resonates with my heart and every year I take time out to do this in the month of January and I am invigorated to explore new places of creativity.
The energy and inspiration that I feel when I am scrapping out the New Year with new visions and ideas in mind can not be contained.I believe in this process which I started over 20 years ago upon reading The Artists Way by Julia Cameron. It was the motivation I needed to express myself.
To unveil the vision that was before me.
I am religious about this tradition because years later I go into these books and pick up new ideas. Everyone who comes into my studio cannot believe the portfolio of ideas that sits before them.
In 2005 I had the opportunity to create my own line of fabric and I was terrified of the rejection. But another thing I’ve learned is to have faith in myself, trust my intuitions, ask for help and never give up.
This post is for all of us who never think we’ll make it..I still have days but if we do the next right thing and believe in the process the right door opens.
I am so glad after working in NYC for knoll Textiles for 12 years that I got to be home with my kids and do what I love. Today one at college and the other almost out the door my children love their creative surroundings and tell me how proud they are of me. It doesn’t get better than that. Have a great day and reach, reach high, dream big, dream bigger, and never give up.
Tweet me, FB me, post comments, I’m listening. All my best to you Jo and to you Paige for giving me a turn in the creative Womens spotlight.
Jennifer

Jennifer is as beautiful of a person as her fabrics. I feel so blessed to have discovered her work, first through a Country Living magazine spread, then through her blog. First I fell in love with her work then I fell in love with her. She is so precious to me. If only the world could be painted in Sisboom colors. What a glorious place it would be! I am so glad you had the opportunity to meet her, you are blessed indeed. Thank you for the giveaway!

I love a good story and a book recommendation… It would truly be a fabulous Friday to win such gorgeous fabric from an inspiring woman and her collection. Talk about sewing away the snowy days of winter with a bright burst of color! Who needs light therapy with Sis Boom? :)
I only knew her through her fabric collections, so it was nice to learn more of Jennifer’s story.
Few people are as exuberantly inspirational as Jennifer. Her living, breathing, daily example is something I value very highly. Playing with her fabrics is a magical experience.

Lovely & inspirational! Fun reading about my sewing sisters out there!
I can relate to your post. My son has a chronic illness and is home from school or in the hospital a lot. It adds a lot of stress trying to keep up with school and is challenging to find time for me too. The plus side is that my son and I are probably much closer than we would have been otherwise. Love your fabric and so glad to hear you and your kids are moving forward! Thanks.
I love your journaling idea. I’m glad you had faith in your vision. Your fabric is fabulous. Kathie L in Allentown

Love your story, love your fabric and so appreciate your inspiration. I gave up all my creative pursuits when I had to totally focus on a son suffering from major depression in his early teens. We worked through those years and came out renewed to keep my dreams alive, working as a liturgical textile artist. Artist Way helped me as well and I am using journaling to point me forward on this journey. I adore your fabric, you are a wonderful designer.
So fun to hear what all goes into those beautiful fabrics we get to sew with !! They are just beautiful!
I need to find some of this fabric. It would be great to make bright happy clothes for my granddaughter!
Wow…just love Jennifer and reading this interview and finding out about her inspiration process. Her fabrics are some of my favorites. Would love to win 5 yards and would have so much fun figuring out what to make with them ;)

What a great post – very uplifting! And I LOVE Sis Boom fabric!
so inspiring,
i didn’t know Jennifer in person, yet i can feel her kindness, caring soul through her writings. it seems that everybody in this business adore her. And not to mention her fabrics collections. All are gorgeous and beautifully complement each other.
p/s..i’ve just finish my maternity tunic using her poodle..will post it in her flickr soon :)
Reading the most recent post, I was notiching how we both had little ones in Kindergarten diagnosed with ADD. My granddaughter was wonderful up until age 4. Once she started Kindergarten, we started having behavioral problems, and she was diagnosed with ADD. it definitely is not an easy diagnosis to live with, but from what we’ve been told there is light at the end of the tunnel. Reading stories like these is what gives us hope.
I’ve been reading your Where Women Create books in addition to the blog. Jennifer Paganelli’s above statement is the most powerful one about creative work that I’ve read. Thanks for this. She is a talented designer so of course would enjoy winning any selection from her colorful Sis Boom fabric collections.

I became a fan of Sis Boom way back when she was in Country Living for the first time. That giant wreath of Christmas balls spoke to me – loudly!

“…enjoy the grace periods of creativity.”
Your words resonate with me as I try to accept new limitations that come to me from the health side of my life.
Your fabrics are beautiful and I would love to “play” with some – a change from my usual fiber of choice, wood.
Thanks for sharing your story and offering this give-away!
I love Jennifer! She always uses such beautiful clear colours and strong patterns – expecially on Queen Street. I’m so looking forward to playing more with her fabrics!
Such a great give-away, and such beautiful fabric! Thanks for the chance to win such a cool contest
Inspiring story! Beautiful fabric designs. Can’t imagine my life without creativity. It’s also my refuge, my time to relax and to escape the stresses of life.
What a great post. All of her fabric is great.
Love it!
thank you for being an inspiration to us all and sharing your creativity with us.
Thanks for sharing your story. You should be very proud of the life you’ve created :)
Beautiful fabrics. Thanks for the giveaway!
Your fabrics are a big favorite of mine an also of my sister’s. {We call you JPag in shorthand when we talk!} Would love to have all the ones in your giveaway for some awesome purses!!!!!!
I can see the quilt already! Awesome!
It’s wonderful to read success stories, but it’s even better when they are followed with words of encouragement. I would love to win these fun, pretty fabrics:)
All you have to do is look at that fabric and you can’t help but smile and be inspired to start a new journey!
