WE LEARNED TO NEEDLEPOINT AT CAMP OSOHA. HAD WE ASKED, OUR GRANDMOTHER WOULD HAVE TAUGHT US AT ANY MOMENT (SHE WAS A TRUE MASTER), BUT IT SEEMED MORE APPEALING WHEN THE OTHER CHOICE WAS SWIM CLASS IN A FREEZING-COLD LAKE IN NORTHERN WISCONSIN. FOR TWO MONTHS EACH SUMMER, WE WOULD HAVE NEEDLEPOINT CLASS ONCE A WEEK, WHERE LINDA, RUTHIE & ROBIN (AND A FEW PRACTICED COUNSELORS) WOULD TEACH US THE DIFFERENT STITCHES, ALLOWING US TO CREATE WHATEVER WE WANTED. WE STITCHED ON PLASTIC CANVAS, WITH THICK WOOL STRING AND PASSED THE TIME ON FOOTHILL’S PORCH IN OUR BLUES AND BIRKENSTOCKS (ALWAYS WITH SOCKS!).

WE WOULD FIND OUR WAY BACK TO NEEDLEPOINT YEARS LATER AND WISHED WE HAD NEVER TAKEN A BREAK. WE DESIGN CANVASES & CUSTOM PIECES WITH WIT, WHIMSY AND SAYINGS WE HAVE PICKED UP ALONG THE WAY.

WE HOPE OUR DESIGNS HELP YOU ENJOY A LITTLE R & R.

LOVE,

TORY & LANE
