Intro

Welcome to my new blog for stitch witches!

As I go along, I will  publish my designs and pictures of my work. I will post links to my favourite stitching gals and encourage any new interest in the craft. I will post clips of how to do several stitches and techniques.

I find here in the US a serious lack of interest in embroidery and would like to encourage greater interest in this wonderful craft!

I teach basic stitches, stumpwork (3D), ribbon work, gold work, bead work, hand quilting and some needle lace. I had very talented teachers in South Africa and they have flourishing businesses there. Please check out Di van Niekerk's website, www.dicraft.co.za as well as Hazel Blomkamp's website, www.hazelblomkamp.co.za.

Also on this blog, I would like everyone to share comments, ideas and interests. I would like to eventually expand this blog to other needle crafts, from sewing, thru knitting, crochet to teddy bear making. I do a lot of knitting and crochet as well and am about to embark on teaching myself to tat!

Lets have some fun!
