About Robbie Berg: Fabric and design have been a life-long love for Robbie. She started sewing and designing in high school which was many years ago.  Robbie continued with clothing design and sewed for 7 weddings and numerous other special events.  For several years she sewed school clothes for her daughters and each of her three children always had a custom Halloween costume.  About 15 years ago she was fortunate to be included in a circle of women who quilted and has been hooked on all types of fiber.  She was awarded the President's Choice ribbon at the Clark County Guild show in 2014 for her Mariner's Compass paper pieced quilt.  More recently, she has branched out to making fiber pottery baskets and bags.  Robbie currently represented by two galleries for her fiber pottery and enjoys teaching others to create fiber pottery.
