My name is Debbie Ceci. I started beading about 7 years ago when a bead store opened near my house in TX. I found my favorite instructor and took almost every class she taught. Her designs inspired a lot of my designs. I started sewing about 5 years ago, when a friend took me to a "block of the month" class at a quilt store. I started sewing quilts but I never seemed to finish anything. That is when I decided that I needed to do smaller projects and tried placemats, tote bags, etc. In 2006, I moved from TX back to NJ and started Ceci’s Creations. There certainly aren’t nearly as many bead or fabric stores in NJ as there were in TX but that doesn’t keep me from pursuing my passion.
