Cross stitch has been my passion for many years, I have been stitching since 1981 when a friend introduced me to the art.  Even though I like other forms of needlework, cross stitch is still my favorite.  I won Texas State Fair ribbons for a quilt I made in 1992 and for a cross stitched throw in 1993. 

I have always wanted to design and for many years I took liberties with designs, changing up the design and/or the colors.  Then one day shortly after being introduced to Vikki Clayton’s silk floss by a wonderful friend and designer, Mary of Ozark Sampler, I thought I would try my hand at designing.  I was inspired by Vikki’s silk colors and came up with my first three designs.  They are simple enough for the beginner and even the more advanced stitcher will find them fun to work up.

I hope you enjoy them.  Check back periodically for new designs.
