Fall 2012 Conference Classes with Carol Storie

The Embroiderers’ Association of Canada is pleased to present these fabulous workshops:

Carol Storie started stitching 25 years ago and nothing has been the same since. She wishes she had known enough about stitching and designing to have started her business when staying home raising her children. She started designing gradually and in 1997 decided to market her designs and Heartfelt Designs was born. Carol creates designs in many techniques of counted thread including hardanger, canvaswork, pulled thread, and cross stitch incorporating specialty threads and a wide variety of stitches. She is a member of The Needlework Designers of Canada, The Regina Stitchery Guild and the Embroiderers’ Association of Canada. She recently served on the EAC Board of Directors as the Youth Embroiderers’ Director. Carol has taught locally as well as at EAC’s Seminars in 2002 and 2010 and an EAC Cyber Workshop in 2006. Two of Carol’s designs have been featured in Embroidery Canada.
