About the Instructor:
I taught myself to sew while studying Art History at Hollins University in Roanoke, Virginia. I fell in love with the embroidery while studying Decorative Arts at the University of Glasgow in Scotland.
I didn't get the chance put needle and thread together until many years later after becoming a mother to 4 busy little ones. I couldn't sit alone a sewing machine, so I searched out a way to create while sitting out at the playground, or waiting in carpool pick up lines.
Modern embroidery has grown, but I was disappointed in patterns i saw. As a believer, I wished to spend my time stitching in a mindful meditation of the Holy Scriptures, or at least edifying in some way. I desire for my designs to uplift the spirit, the soul, and reflect God's beautiful creation.
let's take stitching as an opportunity to slow down and to dwell on what is good, beautiful and lovely.
