Summer is in full swing although it hasn't felt like it as far as the weather goes. I went to Quilt Market in Pittsburg,
PA this spring. What a fun time that was - and so overwhelming. I saw lots and lots of beautiful fabrics, new
notions, went to some fun classes and met wonderful, sewing people. I came home with lots of ideas for future classes.
My quilt was raffled off at the New Baltimore, PA 4th of July picnic. Over 500 tickets were sold. I never met the
winner since they drew the ticket numbers by the PA State lottery. I was disappointed in that. I'd like to know that
my quilt went to a loving home and will be well taken care of. Jean Gentry from Quilt N Forget generously did the quilting
free of charge. She does lovely work.
I received the best present ever from my hubby for our anniversary/birthday. When
I returned home from Quilt Market there was a beautiful Bernina 830 waiting for me to open. I was so surprised. I can't believe
he pulled that off without me knowing. Now if I just had more time to sew on it.

Welcome to Stitching and Fringes! I have been in business since 2004,
and I pride myself on providing customers with the best-quality products and personal service. I would be delighted to have
you in one of my sewing classes. Please check the calender for a listing of my classes. You can also order from me using
the on-line contacts page or contacting me by phone. I offer beautiful Christening gowns and other heirloom items for
purchase. I have been sewing since I was 9 years old. I started by sewing a simple skirt in our local 4-H
club. After many years in 4-H I started sewing for my home, then my children and now my grandchildren. When my first
grandson came along I just had to have an embroidery machine. When my granddaughter was born I started sewing heirloom garments,
starting with her Christening gown. I love to do heirloom sewing which includes Christening gowns, heirlooms for babies, linens
and even wedding accessories. I have attended three licensings classes with Martha Pullen in the heirloom curriculum as well
as the serger curriculum. I recently attended the first Jenny Haskins Academy of Certified Tutors and I am now certified
to teach as a Jenny Haskins tutor. Most of my classes are held at the Fabric Chest in Glen Burnie, MD. I teach
the Bernina Artista Software, advanced embroidery, heirloom and quilting classes.
I take an enormous pride in creating my products, and hope that you'll find something in my catalog that you like.
I also can create custom orders; call or email and let me know what you want. I look forward to doing business with
you.
I am a proud member of the following organizations: Smocking
