For the past six years, Mary Annunziato and Jackie Burke have partnered as Wooly Pines, creating and teaching their own beautiful design of the wool tree. Naturally they have “branched out” to new and exclusively designed lavender, willows, wreaths, and flowers. Their teaching has taken them to many states to teach at basket and painting guilds and quilt, fiber, and wool shops. Jackie, retired from the Department of Defense after 37 years’ service, has over 30 years of experience in decorative painting and continues to enjoy making rag quilts, wool projects, and gourd art. Mary, mother of three, also has over 30 years’ experience in painting and enjoys hand sewing and basket making.
