This site is all about my new work. It began as just a spare time, nighttime hobby sitting on the couch with my dog, Grizzly; while quilting was my full-time day job. Like a kick in the head, I realized I really liked doing this and wanted to do my own designs that others would enjoy. It took me a few months to come up with some ideas.

Before the pandemic, I visited my London-based daughter. We went on a road trip through Southern France, the small storefronts were my initial inspiration and expanded upon a theme with a bakery, dress, ballet, café, flower, and “Les Parapluies”. Since I wanted to work in a series, I followed my son’s old cat, Luigi, around Europe: he travels to Paris, London, Italy, and Scotland. There will be more ports of call and more shops in the future!

My latest collection is: Alphabet Animals. Quirky animals and images are hidden in the design across all 26 letters.

If you are new to embroidery, a kit is a great place to begin as it contains all the materials and information with step-by-step instructions. My kits include everything you need to begin your own embroidery project from start to finish!
