Stitching and Fringes is the creation of Sandra Suhrie.  Sandra began her love of sewing at the age of 9 when she was in a local 4-H club. She continued her sewing education with high school classes, then on to classes taught at local stores. When her grandchildren were born she began embroidering and learning Heirloom sewing. In 2004 and 2006  she attended the Martha Pullen Husqvarna Viking Heirloom Licensing School and  in 2005 she attended the Martha Pullen Serger Licensing School in Huntsville, AL. Since then she has taught Heirloom sewing in several fabric stores in Maryland.  In June 2008, she attended the Jenny Haskins Academy and is now an accredited tutor for Jenny Haskins from Australia. She has taught machine embroidery, Bernina Artista Software, heirloom and quilting classes at the Fabric Chest in Glen Burnie, MD. She now teaches classes at Tomorrow's Treasures in Crofton, MD.  Her passion for sewing and teaching continues as well as her continuing education in the field of sewing.  Sandra is a member of the American Sewing Guild (ASG) and SAGA (Smocking Arts Guild of America).
