Born in Belgium, Ninette started sewing at around the age of four. In grade school she learned to knit, crochet and embroider. By the time she came to the US as a war bride she had attended school for both teaching and design.
Ninette was a charter member when Eclectics opened in 1991. She loved vintage fabrics and laces and putting colors together, making sachets, jewelry bags, pillows, hanging hearts and purses.
When working in the gallery became difficult, Ninette remained as an Honorary Member of Eclectics. She added greatly to the lives of the people who knew her and helped make it possible for Eclectics to be handed down to future artists.
Ninette passed away peacefully this past month. She will be greatly missed.
