About Me

I’m Catherine and I started making my own needlework designs when I was about 10. I started out stitching in plastic canvas and paper and shifted into needlepoint and cross stitch. I’ve also made quilts, done some scrapbooking, and created jewelry, but quite simply, I am happiest when I have a needle and thread in hand. Other things about me:

  • I have an engineering degree and worked for a large international engineering and construction company for over 15 years.
  • My husband and I have traveled quite a bit, mostly in Western Europe and the U.S.
  • I’m one of those people who can watch movies over and over again. I love the good ones like “American Beauty,” the funny ones like “Airplane,” and the stupid ones like “Commando.”
  • I can recite most of George Carlin’s 1972 “AM & FM” album from memory.
  • I think there’s very little you NEED in order to live and be happy. Most of this stuff is just icing on the cake!

Ancora Imparo

…is a quote attributed to Michelangelo, the Italian architect, painter, poet, and sculptor. Roughly translated, it means “I am still learning,” which, in my opinion, is a darn good philosophy.
