About

My name is April Robinson, I am a fiber artist from Southern Illinois and owner of Aunt Wednesdays™, an online boutique that offers an array of handcrafted crocheted hats, scarves, purses, sweaters, preemie layettes, heirloom christening gowns and many other crocheted items.

Aunt Wednesdays™ was opened in December 2010 out of my love for crochet and sewing. My grandmother, a professional seamstress, taught me to sew, quilt, and design, while my mother taught me to crochet, at an early age. Over the past few years I have started to process and spin wool. I continue to enjoy learning new techniques to keep my designs fresh. My newest love is experimenting with various dyes and their effects on many types of fibers.

 I am a proud member of The indiExhibit, an organization that represents independent artists at the best celebrity gift lounges in Hollywood. The indieExhibit consists of a variety of artisans from around the world who have come together to elevate their brand through celebrity gifting. You can learn more about The indiExhibit at www.theindiexhibit.org

Outside of my business, I am an avid reader that loves My God, My Family, and My Community. I enjoy many outdoor activities including backpacking, fishing, and photography. I am the mother of one amazing gift, my daughter, Tabatha. For many years I have been a Sunday School Teacher at our church, HMBC. I have organized many fundraisers, including shoe, coat, school supply and food drives for families in need. For the past several years, I have donated many handmade items to local hospitals, including premature infant burial gowns and bereavement pouches, hundreds of hats, and handmade toys to children’s hospitals in the Midwest.  During the holidays, I enjoy making Christmas stockings, hats, and scarves for area children, I firmly believe in the gift of giving to others.

Aunt Wednesdays™ is always accepting custom crochet orders, and offers a wide selection of options; including size, color, choice of fiber, hand painted and homespun wool.
