Artist Carey Chervtch | Gyspy Thread | Dunedin, Florida
I’m Carey, the Chief Gypsy… Gypsy Queen… Sole Gypsy of this Crazy Crafty Caravan… I’ve always been drawn to the texture and culture of life. Fabric is no exclusion. In fact, I find great comfort and satisfaction researching, learning about, feeling, and creating with interesting fabrics. Knowing how to sew is secondary. My newest adventure, Gypsy Thread, is only possible because of a medical condition forcing me to let go of my busy, stressful, corporate climbing life. Although having RSD/CRPS (a rare neurological pain...

I started sewing when as a child my mother would give me scraps of fabric and I learned to sew little doll clothes. They were very happy times for me so naturally kept up the hobby as I grew.

I eventually started quilting and that gave me such gratification that I continued to teach myself everything about it. I made quite a few quilts as presents for new babies and my family. It was just a few years...

My mother and father met and married in Key West. They were young hitchhiking hippies recently converted to Christianity. They moved away for some time, living in different places (including Italy and England) to learn more about their newfound faith and share it with others.
