Judy was known to many in the temari world as a wonderful, imaginative temari maker and teacher of the same. Some put her down because her designs were unconventional, and untraditional, but Judy made temari because it brought her joy.

It has always amazed me how the same people who critisized her work also stole her designs and claimed them as thier own. I guess thier critisizm was nothing more than plain old jealously!

I have no doubt that Judy is now in a place of great joy. Where her imagination can run free and none will break her heart by trying to steal her ideas, or put her down. May you rest, and live in peace for eternity my dear friend. You are so sadly missed here.

Much Love and tears...Gail Wykle
