| Comments |
"I have always been an artist, and my mother taught me to sew by machine as soon as I could understand instruction. Together my beloved 30+ year old sewing machine and I combine my natural love of painting and drawing with ‘her’ ability to sing with whatever I place under her needle.
Water-soluble materials or hand-painted cottons and spools of thread are all I need to portray the beauty of a flower, children hard at work on a sand castle, the sparkle of sun on water, the awe of a jack pine leaning with the wind, a play of light and shadow, or the intricacies of a human face ~ all intrigue and challenge me."

CEG London, Ontario |
| Interests |
Dollmaking, and all types of hand embroidery. |
| Comments |
I have been stitching ever since I can remember. My earliest stitching experiences involve stitching for the best dressed dolls in town, and then for myself.
I learned how to smock in the 1980s, when my children were born, and then, in the mid-1990s, joined CEG London, where I became seduced by the magic of doll-making.
I realised their potential as a canvas for almost any type of stitchery, and I continue to use that excuse for anything new I learn. What can I say ? |

I start lots of projects, as a member of CEGG. I try to keep my projects small enough that I think I will finish in under 6 months. I often have 3 or 4 projects on the go at once. |

Hi everyone. I started stitching back in August 1995 to see if it was something I could do. Almost 7 years and 2000 designs later, I think I'm hooked !!
I'm a member of the Trillium Embroidery Guild, Embroidery Association of Canada, and Buffalo Chapter of the Embroiderers' Guild of America.
I can talk about needlework until your eyes glaze over. I love it. |

Stitchery, in all its forms. |
| Comments |
Although I am a novice with using the computer, my number one passion is stitching, with special interests in canvaswork and samplers. I enjoy attending antique auctions and am always on the lookout for antique laces and needlework tools.
I belong to Norfolk's Own Needle Arts Guild. We are a small guild located in Simcoe and it is a challenge for us to find supplies as well as to afford to bring in teachers to learn new techniques. |

My stitching interests range from mostly historical to traditional. At the moment stumpwork and beading are my private interests. |
| Comments |
I am lucky to be able to quilt and embroider at work. As a interpreter at Black Creek Pioneer Village I am Mrs. Stong in the large red house. At the village we have what we call productions - a half hour or so talk/demonstration of various activities. These are scheduled on the list of activities , and I do the :
- Quilting Production : on a huge antique quilting frame that takes up half the parlour.
- Victorian Needlework : Most of my stitching efforts in the last few years have been focused on making the samples and some works for sale. Hope to post photos someday.
- Victorian Needlework : Most of my stitching efforts in the last few years have been focused on making the samples and some works for sale. Hope to post photos someday.
- Lace making : (or as I call it Needlework Part Two - Lacemaking; to be started 2002, we hope)
- Butter Churning
When not interpreting these things, I do what I think a farm wife in the 19th century does : cooks on the open hearth, entertains her guests, herds sheep when necessary and keeps the children from running amok in the house. Mrs. Stong had eight children presumably all well behaved and with impeccable manners that today's children must emulate. |

I enjoy all kinds of stitchery but prefer those where I can sit in a comfortable chair. I enjoy learning about experimental techniques, as long as I don't have to get my hands wet or sticky ! |

Mixed media and non-traditional techniques.
|
| Comments |
I consider myself primarily a textile artist although my current work tends to include mixed media, combining textiles with wood, metal, wire, handmade paper, my own hand-dyed threads and experimental surfaces. My love of textures leads me to play with a variety of non-traditional techniques and materials. I especially enjoy exploring new techniques and the challenges involved with constructing three-dimensional forms. |
