 Hi friends! I am
Debbie Hicks, the digitizer behind Too Cute Embroidery. I live in
Sacramento, California, with my two college age kids, Sarah and
Christopher, and husband of 23 years, Charlie.
I have always been a crafty chick and started out in high school
with macrame, hand embroidery, counted cross stitch and needlepunch
- back in the late 70s that's all we had! After my children were
self-sufficient and my life freed up, I got into quilting big time
and fell in love with it. Later my quilting friends started getting
embroidery machines and when one had to have the top of the line
Bernina, I bought her Bernina 180 that was a couple of years old.
After trying some test stitching for a digitizer, I thought it would
be fun to try to learn to digitize. It was tough at first. My brain
wasn't used to doing that type of analytical work and I took a lot
of asprin working through those tutorials. There's alot of analyzing
in thinking through designs to minimize jump stitches and make them
fabulous for you! Today I LOVE digitizing. Right now it's a part
time venture for me as I work my day job running a small medical
transcription company...but I would love to be able to digitize all
day long someday. I have been digitizing now for two years and love
cute designs for children. In the next year, I hope to branch out
and do more intricate designs - nature scenes and themed
collections. I will be working with artists in the next year to make
this.
I also love doing community service work and eaching out to others
who are going through tough times. I have donated over 100 quilts
I've made to cancer patients and children in need. Friends and I
have also sewn hundreds of chemo caps for cancer patients. I have
donated quilts to my local Shriners Hospital and help a local
charity, Christmas Promise, by delivering presents on Christmas Eve
with my family to families in need. My husband makes a wonderful
Santa and it just fills your heart so much to do this....we've been
taking part for four years and now our daughter has her own team and
every year more and more friends join in. It's just awesome.
I hope that you enjoy my designs and that you find lots of time to
'play' in your life.
All about the fun and cuteness,
Debbie
