Joan Blood of Wolf Creek Creations is unstoppable!

As a graduate from our Business Abilities program, we know what a dedicated and determined person Joan Blood is.  Joan has developed a flourishing business, Wolf Creek Creations, using her talent and skills as a seamstress and quilting expert.  One of Joan's most impressive qualities is her fearlessness in trying something new as she forges ahead with entrepreneurial gusto!

With a special emphasis on creating sensory weighted products for a variety of disability types, Joan has established, not only a niche with her craft and artistry, but a way to help others experiencing depression, sleeping disorders, Autism, ADHD/ADD, or in need of comfort.

Joan also produces quilts for athletes made from their T-shirts collected from sporting events around the world. 

We send out a big cheer to Joan for 
all her determination and passion,  and 
wish her great success with her business and 
all new endeavours she undertakes.
