Meet the Business Owner
Karen M.
Business Owner
I began stitching as a young child, maybe 6, my first projects were stamped pillow cases done during the lazy summer days at the shore. Soon after I took to the machine and made my first outfit at age 8. I continued with the sewing machine and hand stitching through grade school and teenage years. Back then it was crewel. During my college years at Drexel and into my 20’s I didn’t do much stitching and when I returned cross stitch had taken over. When I asked shop owners about crewel they looked at me like I was from the Stone Ages. So I did cross stitch, but never felt like there was a sign of my personality when finished. And then I found needlepoint and life was good. So many threads, so many canvas’s, so many stitches and creative designers. It just keeps multiplying becoming more interesting and challenging. I mostly enjoy stitching for the process and less about the end product. It justifies all the projects that have been started in hopes that most will someday get finished.
