Category: Commercial Design | Technique: Surface Embroidery
Artist Statement: I am influenced by nature when creating fiber art. I use various subjects in nature such as
plants and animals because I like the way they look, and they make me feel happy. I have been stitching for
several years and have delved into different techniques and projects. I find that stitching makes me feel
relaxed and I like to use my hands. While creating my current work I learned new stitches to embellish my
subjects. I incorporate several colors when stitching to create to depth and contrast to my artwork.

Category: Original Design | Technique: Surface Embroidery
Artist Statement: I have been a textile artist for over 15 years, I have had the opportunity to weave several
complex and intricate weaving patterns. I also explore the world of textile arts through stitching. I enjoy
learning new stitches and techniques. I am inspired and motivated by how colors interact with each other
when threads become stitched together. When stitching I feel peaceful and at ease it feels like I am in my
own world. Alongside stitching I explore fiber art by crocheting.

#103 - Tufted Coquette among Porterweed Plants
Location: Pets Room (2nd Floor, Blue Bedroom)
Division: Adult | Exhibited by: In Stitches
Category: Original Design | Technique: Surface Embroidery
Artist Statement: I began focusing on embroidering birds after a trip to a bird sanctuary located in the rain
forest of Trinidad’s Arima Valley. My father's family is from this valley. The challenge of trying to capture the
elegance and tranquility of rain forest birds has allowed me to focus anew my attention on surface texture
and color while memorizing my family's past. I wanted to create a 3D setting for this striking hummer by
placing it in the middleground of crisscrossing porterweed stalks.

#708 - Meow Manor
Location: Pets Room (2nd Floor, Blue Bedroom)
Division: Adult | Exhibited by: Self
Category: Commercial Design | Technique: Canvaswork: Multi-Stitch (4+)
Commercial Pattern/Designer: Feral Notions
Artist Statement: This is my first needlepoint piece ever. I saw a post from Feral Notions on Instagram
featuring a house purse, and was immediately interested in trying it out, participating in the Feral Notions
stitch-along. I modified the pattern slightly to include four cats instead of the original two. Each cat
represents the cats I've had in my life - Pumpkin (orange), Molly (black), Keely (gray), and my current cat,
Bea (also gray). I call the piece Meow Manor in their honor. I wanted to be as sustainable as possible, so the
materials were either materials I had at home or got at a thrift store. I wasn't expecting to enjoy this form of
needlework as much as I did, and I'm looking forward to making another house purse and exploring other
projects. Meow Manor is probably not the neatest piece I've ever created, but it's one of my favorite pieces. I
loved every minute of creating it.

Category: Commercial Design | Technique: Surface Embroidery
Commercial Pattern/Designer: PopLush Embroidery (her site is no longer active)
Artist Statement: I embroidered this piece in one day, November 6, 2024. I had worked as an election officer
the previous day for the 2024 election and was absolutely exhausted. I needed to do something to help me
focus on what was ahead, so I picked up a pattern I had from a designer called PopLush Embroidery (her
shop closed a few years ago). As I stitched the pattern, I felt like each object depicted - the ship, the wave,
and the kraken. Not only did the piece help me through that day, it inspired me and my friends to create a
monthly craft/art meetup to create community and create together. I think of my friends every time I look at
this piece. It's one of my favorites.

Location: Beach Room (1st Floor, Music Room)
Division: Adult | Exhibited by: Self
Category: Commercial Design | Technique: Canvaswork: Multi-Stitch (4+)
Commercial Pattern/Designer: Krissy Mast
Artist Statement: I was drawn to this poodle from the moment I saw her. Maybe it was aspirational, but I
love the image of this poodle doing her thing on the beach (I also rescue poodles, so it didn’t hurt to see a
poodle living her best life!) As I stitched her, I struggled for awhile to come up with a name, until one day,
after several weeks of stitching, I settled on the name Gidget. While the original Gidget is a carefree, teenage surfer, I felt Gidget’s carefree attitude applied to this poodle as well! The large canvas was also an
opportunity to play with some stitches and thread mixing. I mixed different shades of DMC floss to create
texture in the sand, and used a combination of long and short stitches in Fuzzy Stuff to give Gidget her
texture.
