Welcome!

I have loved cross stitching since I was a child. My grandmother introduced this wonderful artwork to me and I fell in love instantly.

Several years ago, I ventured into the world of designing patterns. I now offer original designs, reproduction samplers, and samplers reimagined. I find inspiration through my studies of art history and antique needlework. I look for a unique approach to cross stitching such designs and always find a way to appeal to all skill levels. Please enjoy browsing the website, reading the blogs I have written when inspired by a design, and of course finding your next project to stitch!
