This SBQ was suggested by Jennifer and is:
How did you get started stitching? Was there a person that inspired you?
“Let’s start at the very beginning. A very good place to start.”
Let’s see. I started stitching sometime around the age of 11, I think. My mother taught me and I think my first stitched piece was a little owl. I remember that I stitched several Precious Moments designs, once of which had a birdcage and I made my long stitches too long on the cage bars, so they got really loose and floppy. I have a picture of myself on the couch as a little kid, hoop and needle in hand. 🙂
I guess I would say that my mother inspired me, but she hasn’t kept up with it. Teresa Wentzler’s Rapunzel did her in. 😆 Now, all of the stitching bloggers out there provide me with inspiration. There’s no shortage of it, that’s for sure!
