I have been interested in sewing since I was ten years old. I had one of those toy machines that frustrated me... not to mention my father, because it always needed to be fixed. I was the recipient of many sewn gifts from my paternal grandmother - and this inspired me to learn to sew. Although Home Economics was only required for one year in high school I took it for all four years.

Some of the inspiration for embroidery came from watching Sewing with Nancy. She had a series where she stitched over very thin 'knitting needles' to make pictures too and I found that fascinating. I purchased my first embroidery machine and and PeDesign v1 in 1998.

I have free designs in the archives at Ann the Gran.

I am always trying new techniques. If you have any suggestions for sets or single designs please email me and I'll see what I can do to accommodate you.

If you need a design digitized at a reasonable price please contact me with details. Photo Stitch designs are also available upon request. Please visit the custom design page for information on photo stitch designs.
