Profile Information
- What textiles are you interested in?
- Silks - Japanese Embroidery
But I have had a long interest in many types of hand embroidery, crochet and quilting. I love threads, fabrics, beads, lace, and mostly silks.
- Where did you learn your textile skills?
- Certified Japanese Embroidery Center Teacher, Tonie Evans
For years, I was self taught using books and charts before I joined groups that exposed me to other stitchers who I could learn from.
- Let us know you are not a spammer. Is there anything else you want to say to introduce yourself to the group?
- I am currently a Phase IX student in Japanese Embroidery and it is what I spend the most of my stitch time on. The Japanse Embroidery Center in Atlanta, Georgia, USA teaches "The hands are the exit for the spirit." I believe this no matter what type of embroidery or handwork you do. One can see the spirit of a person in their finished work.

Jessica Grimm said… Dear Terry,
Thank you for your nice comments on the completion of my TAST-2012 sampler! It has been a busy few weeks for me with lots of teaching and a knitting and stitching show. This week will see a lot of catching up and some creation of new ideas for future courses and workshops.
Have a nice day, Jessica

Hi Terry, thank you for all your nice comments, I miss your pictures, are you still stitching? I do wish I didn't have to sleep, I have so many projects I want do, I probably don't have the time in my life time to get it all done, I am finishing a runner right now and my mind is already on the next one, or two, or three. Have a great weekend. Connie

aikistitch said… Hi Terry, thanks for your message. I have only just began to do other stitches then crossstitch and i think it is really good fun:).
I am really impressed with your work. As i am a little "Japan Mad" I really think you capture the Japanese style perfectly.
Have a nice day!

Ann Johnson said… Terry, thank you for taking time to look at my "stuff" and your kind comments. I so enjoyed looking at your Japanese pieces. I am going from front to back in the photo pages, so I'm hoping to discover more as I get further along. There is so much talent and beauty on this site, as I've said so many times, but it's eye-opening to see what people produce.
I hope you have a wonderful day!

Hi Terry, it sure was lonely around here without you, I was wondering what happened. Your work is stunning, it is too bad you missed the class, but there ia always another year, and I hope we will see more of you. Have a great day. Connie

Dear Terry, thank you for your comment on my stitched dog! I have fallen behind with Tast badly. Due to organsing the Open Day for the RSN Netherlands next Saturday, little time is left for stitching on my projects. Have a nice day, Jessica
