Profile Information
- What are your favorite stitching activities?
- sampers, hardanger, drawn thread, cross stitch, counted needlepoint, knitting
- Tell us a little about yourself:
- I've been doing counted thread needlework for over 30 years. I love band samplers most of all, but I'll stitch pretty much any sampler, Santa, and a lot of hardanger.
I'm a retired software engineer (hence the affinity for counted thread work). I have owned and operated my own needlework shops, but in retirement I stitch, pin needlework for a local gallery and make beaded needlework gadgets to sell.
I also make most of my own frames now. I got started when I had a hard time finding mouldings simple enough to showcase reproduction and old style samplers. My husband gave me a compound mitre saw and router for Christmas one year and off I went. The noise doesn't even make me flinch anymore! I stain or paint them with faux finishes. I'll try to make note in the photo descriptions of the ones I've made.
I have a husband who supports all my needlework activities. We are the proud parents of two (currently) pugs, Lester and Earl, who run our household.
