Where did it begin, this obsession with fabric? Was it the soft smooth satin binding of my childhood blanket? Perhaps it was the feeling of our silver velvet couch beneath my young toes. It is hard to say precisely, but my memories of fabric are some of the most vivid I can recall. Ultimately textiles have laid down a path for me, which I have explored happily and will continue to discover through travel, product development and design into the future. I love a good long project, months of slow hand stitching, intricate appliqué and embroidery are like meditation for me. That said however, I am a big fan of the last minute gift! To make a little something that can be completed in an afternoon or evening, a little something that will bring big smiles to little faces. What could be better than that? What I love most about threadfollower kits is that I can see the joy I felt as a child lighting up in the eyes of the people who discover them no matter what their age. Sharing that magic is what this is all about for me!
