I was born in Kalocsa on December 22, 1944, and my maiden name is Jenei Éva. I started embroidering by hand at the Kalocsa Handicraft Cooperative in 1966 and switched to machine embroidery in 1985. I have practiced the craft ever since, and it is an activity that I enjoy tremendously. I regularly demonstrate the craft of embroidery at traditional folk festivals in Kalocsa. All my submitted pieces have been jury-approved, and in 2012, I received the Pécsiné Ács Sarolta award in recognition of my work.
