Judy Williamson - Publishing Director
Judy Williamson is one of the three founding sisters of Homespun Media LLC and Primitive Quilts and Projects magazine. Her career has been in the financial services industry with experience in sales, customer service, information technology, meeting facilitation, personal coaching, and project management; she holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in business administration from Muskingum College. Judy retired from a 27-year Federal government career, and now works full-time for Homespun Media. Judy has always enjoyed dabbling in the arts—singing, playing classical guitar, sketching, watercolors, and of course, the fiber arts. She began making quilts when her sisters Jeni and Gretchen opened the Woolen Willow and hosted a Jan Patek trunk show. She fell in love with Jan's "Morning Has Broken" quilt and just had to make it. Judy and husband Dave have two grown children, Leah and Ben, and a 4-year-old grandson Julian. They recently adopted a Red Heeler (Australian Cattle Dog) and named her "Pearl." Judy and Dave spend most of their spare time at a little cabin in the middle of the Monongehela National Forest in West Virginia.

And, our loving parents who were an integral part of our business operations in the past:
Mary Falcsik
With an adventurous spirit and zest for learning, Mary Falcsik (our Mom) taught us to sew, knit, appliqué, embroider, and to have fun in everything we do. She is retired from an extensive career as a legal secretary and freelance typist but stays busy helping out at the Homespun Media office, and is the author of Primitive Quilts and Projects' "Ask Mom" column. Mary and her husband George live in Williamstown, West Virginia. They have five grown children, eight grandchildren, and seven great-grandchildren. She's a lifelong fabric arts enthusiast, and despite vision loss (macular degeneration), she still manages to stitch, working more by feel than by sight. Mom sets the standard in keeping positive attitude no matter what.

George Falcsik
George Falcsik (our Dad) is a retired insurance agent (15 years), and enjoyed a 15-year career in Human Resources and Labor Relations. He holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from Michigan State University in Business (Personnel Management), and at age 61, went back to college to further his education in Early Childhood Development to operate a preschool program. He is also a veteran of the United States Army. George and his wife, Mary, live in Williamstown, West Virginia. They have five grown children, eight grandchildren, and seven great-grandchildren. Although he never formally pursued any artistic hobbies, he has always been an excellent sketcher, and can be credited for a good bit of his daughters' artistic skills and zest for fun.
