Welcome to my little corner of the internet, where the teapot is always on and needlepoint conversation is always flowing.
I still get teary-eyed when I think of my Granny, who taught me needlepoint when I was just a little girl.
Today, as a needlepoint teacher and author, I’m dedicated to keeping this timeless art alive by helping fellow stitchers of all ages and stages find joy and confidence through needlework. I feel privileged to have helped thousands of new and experienced stitchers develop their needlepoint and embroidery skills over the past 25 years. With my step-by-step approach to teaching online, I’m here to make sure you have all the knowledge you need to choose the best stitches and threads for your projects, without wasting hours searching across the internet.
