My website is named after my two grandmothers. Addie, my paternal grandmother, loved to crochet. Even though she passed in 1956, her work lives on. I have some of her hand crochet doilies that still has the original sugar starch in them. My Maternal grandmother, Pearl, was a quilter. My one and only sister is the one who has taught me most everything I know about sewing. She is a super seamstress. Now, she quilts the most beautiful quilts I have ever seen. My Mother and Aunt also helped me when I first started to sew.

So with these females in my family tree, I just had to love needlecrafts myself. I have tried my hand at crochet, knitting, hand embroidery, smocking, and sewing. I got my first embroidery machine when I retired from a career of teaching high school math. I have ‘dabbled’ with digitizing for quite a number of years and finally got serious about it a few years ago. I have to thank Sue L. for her lessons and willingness to help me when I was in over my head.

I have found something that I really enjoy doing and love the feeling of sewing out a new design,

Thanks to my customers for helping to make my dream come true.
