You're in the right place!

I have all colors of gorgeous ThreadworX floss, all colors of DMC variegated floss, and all available Anchor variegated flosses in stock.

My patterns include an eclectic mix of movie and TV quotes, bright geometrics, and travel themes. I'm always working on new ideas and adding them to the shop as I can.

I design every stitch of every pattern. I do not use pattern generating software. In addition, I stitch every pattern either as a needlepoint or a cross stitch before I put them up for sale. This way I know my patterns are as error-free as possible and that the colors pop!

My kits contain the best quality materials available: Zwiegart fabrics, DMC floss, and John James gold plated needles.

I started making my own needlework designs when I was about 10. I started out stitching in plastic canvas and paper and shifted into needlepoint and cross stitch. I’ve also made quilts, done some scrapbooking, and created jewelry, but quite simply, I am happiest when I have a needle and thread in hand. Other things about me:

- I have an engineering degree and worked for a large international engineering and construction company for 15 years.
- My husband and I travel quite a bit, mostly in Western Europe and the U.S.
- I’m one of those people who can watch movies over and over again. I love the good ones like “American Beauty”, the funny ones like “Airplane”, and the stupid ones like “Commando”.
- I can recite most of George Carlin’s 1972 “AM & FM” album from memory.
- I think there’s very little you NEED in order to live and be happy. Most of this stuff is just icing on the cake!

Ancora Imparo
…is a quote attributed to Michelangelo, the Italian architect, painter, poet, and sculptor. Roughly translated, it means “I am still learning,” which, in my opinion, is a darn good philosophy.
