Now living in a small coastal Florida town, Lara enjoys creating accessories for Fae’s Cabinet, many with unique quilt patterns (ex. potion bottles, mushrooms, and cherry blossoms). After many careers, Lara, looked to work more creatively, created Fortitude Dance Designs. For over a decade she made competitive, highly ornate, Irish dance costumes with clients worldwide. Then COVID hit. Once again, like a phoenix rising from the ashes, she switched to face masks with matching accessories, and Stitched Magically soared. Her popularity quickly grew with the unique quilting patterns that adorn many of the accessories.
