About Me

I have always loved vintage needlepoint, fine silks and fabrics and wonderful fringes, tassels and cords. So it only seemed natural that I combine the three and create wonderful one of a kind pillows.
The needlepoints have been created by the hands of our fore-mothers and fore-sisters as a pastime and a time honored tradition. Many have been well loved and used for years; others were literally rescued from dust bins or junk boxes. Many show wear and a few missing stitches, but that only adds to the beauty of vintage. Out of respect for the many hours of work and love put into each needlepoint, I search for fine silks and fabrics to perfectly accent the vintage colors and trim each pillow with decorator trims.Please click ~Here~ to visit my website
