| Instructor Bio: | Holly was taught to sew by her mother at the young age of 8. She learned by watching her mom pin patterns, helping cut the fabric, and turning the fabric into lovely garments. She also learned hand embroidery techniques, including crewel, needlepoint, and candle wicking. Holly started her machine embroidery journey with a Designer 1 in 2004 and has since added several machines to her sewing room. More recently, Holly has explored making useful and decorative items out of clothesline rope. This new passion has provided new avenues to share her creations with family and friends. When not creating, Holly enjoys camping with her husband and exploring the states to get ideas for her next projects. |
