| Introduction | Retired in 1998 - I live with my wonderful, patient husband Patrick and a flame point Himalayan named Opie. Since 1998 I have progressed from needlepoint to all styles of embroidery including ribbon, stump-work and couture embroidery using the "Lunéville" hook. I studied tambour embroidery at the Ecole Lesage in Paris France where I completed 5 leisure courses. I love to give presentations at Quilt Guilds and teach Tambour embroidery. |
