Visit Threads Of Time Embroidery Site
 Like many of you, I am the daughter of, wife of, mother of and grandmother of. Before retiring, even at work I was known by the tasks I did.
I am also known as Mummy Izzy, the Merry Widow, Tilly Tuttleworth, and
Mrs. Clause. My name is Janet. While sewing, knitting,
and crafts have always been enjoyable, it was a decision 14 years ago that created and expanded the world I enjoy today. My youngest daughter,
at the age of 14, asked me if she could be a participant of the Kansas City Renaissance Festival. Thinking it would be a fun experience for her
and firmly believing it would only be one year, I said alright. Knowing there would be try outs, costuming, class's and promos's I decided it
would be easier if I did it with her. Would I make the same decision today? In a heartbeat. That decision helped form a sharing bond with my
youngest that I wished I had with my oldest daughter, and their brother. It forced me to be more outgoing, expanded my sewing skills, and led
me into machine embroidery. Blackwork done by hand is very time consuming.
It did not take long to learn that most of the embroidery designs I needed would have to be digitized. PE-Design version 2.5 was my starting point.
Had no computer, but my oldest daughter said I could come to her house and use hers. Yes, I actually thought that would work. A month later, a
new computer came home with me. When I had reached PE-Design version 5, I discovered Generations. I am now teaching digitizing. Teaching
is the best way to re enforce what I am learning and help someone else who is starting out.
Always learning is the best way to stay young. Our family motto is, Nothing happens with out a dream.
