I first began embroidering when I was about 9 years old, I loved the
colors and texture of the thread and fell in love with the idea that I
could create any picture I wanted simply with fabric and thread.
I
did not really like sewing so much because it was difficult and I could
never seem to get it to do what it was suppose to. Besides my mother
held that position and there was no second to her I thought.
However,
I was able to pick up the basics and now for the last 18 months I have
slowly begun to pick up a bit more about sewing, specifically quilting
again it is the ability to create a picture with fabric and thread. I am
able to combine my love of thread and fabric and instead of a small
canvas I now have a much larger play area.
Another love of thread
this time in the form of crocheting, I realized that I could also
combine sewing, embroidery with crocheting. I have always loved the
vintage doilies and tablecloths, the delicate lace that was joined
together with a sturdy thread. So I have begun to implement that as well
into my crafts.
Not everything I do is with thread, I also love
to create door wreaths, these are a blast to make and are easily
completed in a short amount of time.
The other area that I love
is my family, they are my inspiration and my energy. Without them I find
that I have very little desire to achieve much.
