Needlework & Crafts

I absolutely love crafts--in fact you can say Im addicted to them. My specialties are Bargello Needlepoint and Japanese Embroidery; and when Im not doing those, I find time to knit, crochet, quilt, sew, bead---you name it! I design my own pieces and have published a book or two.
