  • Framed cross-stitch artwork of a woman in profile, wearing a colorful headwrap and traditional jewelry.

    Amazing Women, Africa

    2025

    The moment I saw this design, I knew I wanted to bring it to life. The tan Aida cloth enhances the vibrancy of the threads, while the bronze frame and textured mat complement the strength and beauty of the subject. It quickly became one of my favorites.

  • Top-down view of a girl lying on a green surface with various items around her, including a pink backpack, a map, a camera, a pair of sneakers, sunglasses, a water bottle, headphones, a wristwatch, a lollipop, and a notebook, with a framed border.

    Teen with Travel Visions

    2025

    This Whimsical piece captures the spirit of youthful dreaming, complete with red sneakers, a passport, a backpack, and a straw hat. It reminds me of a time when I imagined the adventures and places that would shape my future.

  • A framed cross-stitch or embroidery artwork of a white peony flower with pink accents.

    Peony Poses

    2025

    A challenging work, this piece required every square of the cloth to be stitched without backstitching. Working in 10 x 10 blocks, I brought to life a warm color palette that radiates peace and beauty. It is one of my Signature pieces.

  • Colorful cross-stitch art of a forest scene with a red pathway, white birch trees, and vibrant autumn foliage.

    Birch Guardians

    2025

    This tribute to the birch trees on our mountain property celebrates their unique markings and the soothing sound of their fluttering leaves. Like flowing water, they bring a sense of calm and beauty—captured here in thread.

Signature Collection

  • Cross-stitch embroidery of colorful flowers, including a purple hydrangea, a bright orange sunflower, and pink dahlias, framed with a patterned wooden border and a green mat.

    Vibrant Blooms

    2022

    One of my favorites, this piece radiates with bold color and a close-up view of flowers in full detail. The beauty lies in the backstitching, which, though time-consuming, gives the blooms their striking definition.

  • Cross-stitch embroidery of a garden scene with a small shed, pink flowering trees, garden tools, potted plants, and decorative items, framed with a brown matrix and placed on a wooden surface.

    Garden Shed

    2024

    Small but mighty, this 10” x 10” piece feels like building with thread. The brick wall required three shades of rust-colored thread, while over forty cherry blossoms came to life with delicate color changes. I framed it without glass to highlight the intricate stitching.

  • Framed cross-stitch artwork depicting a village scene with quilt shops, hanging quilts, a bike with flowers, a sign reading 'Quilts,' and a building with 'Handmade Quilts' on the wall.

    Quilting Village

    2024

    One of the largest and most complex pieces I’ve ever completed, this design stitches nearly the entire cloth, sparing only a few glimpses of sky. It features nine quilts—a nod to quilting, though I am not a quilter myself. This piece always reminds me of Holly, Michigan, a town dear to my heart.

  • Decorative pillow with winter scene embroidered, featuring a snow-covered house, trees, and bushes under a snowfall.

    Winter Home

    2023

    My second pillow piece, Winter Home, features a twinkling blue night sky stitched on Aida cloth with DMC threads. It brings a touch of magic to my winter seasonal collection.

  • Decorative pillow with a pumpkin and autumn leaves design in orange, green, yellow, and gray colors.

    Fall Pumpkins

    2023

    For this piece, I stepped away from framed art to try a needlepoint pillow. Stitched on burlap-like fabric with yarn instead of thread, it is finished with suede backing and pillow fill. Each autumn, it finds its place on my hearth, part of my seasonal display.

  • Cross-stitch embroidery of a woman with blue hair, wearing a black and white polka dot top and a blue floral skirt, surrounded by colorful flowers, framed in a blue and black frame.

    Raining Flowers

    2021

    This piece challenged me with its dark blue Aida cloth—a rarity in textile design. The French knots on the bodice, the contemporary hair coloring, and the folds of the gown created through layered threads make it especially memorable. A friend lovingly refers to it as the “Tulip Skirt.” It is part of my Signature collection.

  • Framed cross-stitch embroidery of white flowers with green leaves and red cherries, with a red ribbon around the stems, and small red heart and cherry motifs in the top right corner.

    Flower Bouquet

    2020

    This bouquet tied with a red ribbon marked my reentry into textile arts. As a flower lover, I couldn’t imagine a better way to begin again. The detailed greenery, with its many color changes, made this piece both challenging and rewarding. It became my very first Signature work.

Nature Collection

  • A framed cross-stitch embroidery of a mountain river scene with rocks, greenery, and a red bush, with mountains and waterfalls in the background.

    Mountain River

    2023

    This piece, part of the Nature collection, is one of my husband’s favorites. It uses Italian Merano wool instead of traditional DMC thread, creating rich color and added texture. The oval frame enhances the sense of movement in the flowing water, a reminder of his love for rivers and streams.

  • A cross-stitch artwork of a beach scene with colorful beach huts, a lighthouse, seagulls, beach chairs, and a boat on the sand.

    At the Beach

    2022

    Some of my fondest memories are by the water—whether on the shores of Michigan, the Carolinas, or the West Coast. This design, with its lighthouse, rowboat, birds, and grasses, instantly transports me back to those cherished beach days.

  • Framed cross-stitch artwork of a mountain landscape at sunset with trees, rocks, and a bear.

    Mountain Sunset

    2021

    I created this piece as a housewarming gift for my husband and me after we purchased a mountain property in Colorado. The rolling terrain, trees, and brilliant sunrises and sunsets reminded me of our new home. A unique feature of this design is the use of “combined threads,” where two different colors are stitched together, creating depth and nuance. This piece belongs to the Nature collection.

Whimsical Collection

  • A framed cross-stitch artwork featuring five cute Halloween gnome characters dressed as witches, wizards, and pumpkins, with the words 'Spooky,' 'Creepy,' 'Happy,' and 'Scary' stitched below them.

    Halloween Gnomes

    2024

    This playful piece bursts with purple, orange, and lime green, inspired by the Seven Dwarfs. The details in each gnome, enhanced by fine backstitching, make it a joyful part of my Whimsical collection.

  • Framed cross-stitch artwork of a coffee cup with steam, surrounded by coffee-themed phrases and images.

    Coffee Au Lait

    2022

    As a coffee lover, I created this vintage-inspired piece for my kitchen. The subtle shading of the three stitched panels behind the coffee cup gives it a distinctly European feel.

  • Cross-stitched decorative pillow with three gnomes wearing festive hats, holding gifts, with snowflake patterns in the background.

    Winter Gnomes

    2021

    I enjoy stitching seasonal pieces to display as the seasons arrive. These cheerful gnomes, with their “jolly” expressions, always bring a smile to my face and belong to my Whimsical collection.
