Digitizer's Profile    

Visit EMS Design's Embroidery Site   

As I am a digitizer, Edna of EMS Designs, here at OPW, I am going to tell you a little about me.  I am 66 yrs. old and have been digitizing for about 5 yrs. now and I just keep learning more and more.

I have loved sewing and embroidery ever since I was a little girl and always did hand embroidery with my mother and grandmother. When they came out with the embroidery machines I thought, "WOW!" I would love to do that!".

I love to oil paint and have painted a few of my Dad's photographs onto 16 x 20 canvases and they make such beautiful pictures.  I took art classes at the local college for almost 10 yrs.  I am a retired hair designer and love being retired. I worked in that field for 30 yrs. so I thought it was about time to retire, although I could not just do nothing, so I learned how to digitized a couple of yrs. before I  retired and believe me this keeps me busy.

I am married and between my husband and myself we have 10 grandchildren although only 5 are around here. I have 3 children, 1 boy-46, 1 girl-39 and 1-boy-41 and my husband has 1 boy-44 and 1 girl-34 and the others live in Indiana. I also have 1 great grandchild on the way from my oldest grandchild.
I live in Chester, Va., 15 miles south of Richmond, Va., where we just had about 10 in. of snow this winter and it looked so pretty.

We have two dogs that are our babies and are spoiled rotten and they lay up in my window by my computer while I digitize. One is a Jack Russell named Sadie and the other is a Yorkie Poo named Rascal.

I got into digitizing when I got my first machine and curiosity got the better of me and I just had to find out how to make a design and make it work for me. After that I was hooked.
