After graduating from college, Barbara taught kindergarten before starting her family. While raising three children, she designed for Bucilla Yarn and developed her own line of stitchery kits. She taught creative stitchery, cross-stitch, and needlepoint at local needlework shops and various parks and recreation centers.
