The Story behind it all.........

  Since I was a little girl I have been a maker. May it be stitching, quilting, spinning, knitting, sewing, rug hooking, crochet, or weaving I am a maker at heart. I have had the gift of many wonderful women who have spoken into my life and helped mold the maker within me. Through the years one thing has remained that soothes my soul to the core, that being the pull of the needle. The simple act of drawing thread with a needle has been something that I love and brings sheer joy to my life.

  In my stitching journey I have always known that samplers were my favorite thing, they truly make my heart sing. I love to talk about them, hunt and collect them, learn from their makers and ponder about the little girls from so long ago. Combining these  passions is now the culmination of Antique Needleworkers. I am honored to have the privilege to reproduce parts of the past as well as bring new designs to you here.

                                 Wishing you many happy stitches,

                                                    Shellie
