How It Began I bring 30 years of canvas painting along with 40 years of stitching to these designs. As a teen, a disabled parent noticed a decline in her hands and it was apparent that my art skills could help. On the back of a Dimensions crewel canvas (a manufactured brand in chain craft stores in the 1980s) I repainted the scene larger. As her disability progressed, I bought larger mesh blank canvas to keep her stitching. A Business Is Born In 2019, I published several needlepoint designs. In 2022, a line of over 100 designs outgrew the studio. Today, the line is distributed to local needlepoint retailers throughout the US with The Collection Designs. I proudly offer my designs exclusively through retailers. Design: 6" round 18 Mesh 18 mesh
