Jessica's work has brought great joy and praise from the people that have had the chance to experience it. Below is just a few of the many comments made regarding Jessica and her efforts.
“As a Bride one of your most joyous moments is spending the time with your Mother. Unfortunately, we lost our Mother at an early age and I desperately wanted her spirit to be a part of the occasion. Jessica embroidered my Mother’s name in my gown. The Gown, a bride’s most prized and cherished possession. I was in tears the moment I saw her beautiful work. She carefully selected the thread to elegantly match my dress without taking away from my gown. She hand embroidered my mothers name to absolute perfection. I can never thank Jessica enough, she provided a way for my mother to be with me during one of the most momentous occasions of my life. Her work was beyond anything I could dream of and everyone could see her attention of detail. It is stunning. Jessica is extremely talented and I was blessed to have her artistry on my Bridal Gown."

"She is just a treasure for our parish community. So many of the old vestments and other linens and such were literally falling into pieces. Without her skills and keen eye, these items could have been lost to history. Instead, they are accurately and beautifully restored to their former glory."
Father Wayne Epperley, pastor of Old St Mary’s
“When I signed up to take Jessica’s Sugar Skull class, I was very nervous because I am a beginner and I wanted this project to turn out well. Jessica showed up prepared with everything that I needed. She took her time with each step and allowed me to move at my own pace. What I really appreciated, was that she did not step in and do it for me. She wanted me to learn each technique and be confident in myself to carry it through. Not only did I walk away from her class with a really cool Sugar Skull on my denim skirt, but I walked away knowing that when I try this again (on my own) I will have the skills I need to be successful.
I have been watching Jessica work diligently to hone her craft for over 10 years and I can honestly say that I have never seen someone so dedicated to perfecting the skills and techniques of their art. I am in awe of her patience and her passion for learning and creating. She is truly, one of a kind!"
