My Story
Like many of you, my embroidery story started at a young age. No one quite remembers when or by whom I was taught, but both my paternal grandmother and my maternal grandfather were avid embroiderers. Unaware that one could carve out a career in embroidery, I opted to go to university and study archaeology. Eventually, my career in archaeology brought me to England, and I became a tutor at the Royal School of Needlework. And the rest is history, as they say. Medieval history, that is :).
