Sherry Falese was born and raised in Lafayette, Indiana. She moved to Pennsylvania in 1983 and to Chester County in 1992. She has two sons attending college in Pennsylvania and one in Grad school in California. Sherry has worked for 9 years in the Coatesville Area School district as an instructional aide for the special education department. She started at the elementary school where the boys attended and currently works at the high school campus.

Sherry has been doing various handcrafts for more than 20 years. She began sewing for dolls at age 10 and has progressed through the years to many areas of interest. Her passions include quilting, doll making and more recently knitting. The Daughters of the American Revolution have recognized Sherry for quilting, doll making, and historic preservation with national first and second place awards. Although first learning to knit as a girl scout, her interest was peaked 3 years ago with an introduction to felted wool handbags. The product line for the Creative Hand keeps the Needles flying most of the time. Whether it is in front of the TV or in the store, there is always one more color and one more bag. Stop in and see the changing line of unique felted wool bags.
