Visual Art – Philadelphia

I\'ve been working with needle and thread for 25 years, hand stitching both my own designs and recreating early American sampler work. I started sewing and stitching when I was ten years old during a visit to the mountain town of Wood. My aunt set her grandson and I to work cross stitching a large American flag on her behalf. He is probably still traumatized by that hot July spent sewing, meanwhile, I loved it! I now live in New Jersey with my husband and our three children. I can be found with one or two projects going at any given time, cup of coffee at hand and a cat vying for his fair share of attention.
