Nancy began doing needlework in 1988. While she had always been a crafty individual, she had not done any type of stitching. After creating a "stash" of magazines and supplies, Nancy became hooked on cross stitch. In the following years Nancy has taken many classes and attended many retreats as both an attendee and a teacher. Her style is, in her words, "folksy, quick to stitch designs." Her teaching pieces often feature some form of sampler to showcase several aspects of cross stitch in one design. Nancy has taught classes in Ohio and New York and greatly enjoys the interaction between teacher and students. She loves to meet stitchers whether they're new to the craft or established in their own right.
