From Michelle: My mother taught me to embroider when I was about 8 years old. In my 20s, I had a job at a custom sewing shop in Princeton, WI, embroidering on the owner’s handmade clothing, even showing some of our work in a couple local fashion shows. Embroidery has always been a source of relaxation and joy for me - creating beauty with thread and needle.
