Jen: So then, how and when did you passion for cross stitching begin?įiona: Since I was a little girl, I was surrounded by fabrics, needle and thread.

I got frustrated and never touched a needle and thread again until some years ago. I was constantly making counting mistakes, and I had to start over and over again.

I remember I started a very cute sampler with little gnomes, but I never finished it. Jen: How did you learn to cross stitch? Did you stitch as a girl? Any photos of your first cross stitch projects?įiona: When I was a little girl I wanted to cross stitch just like my mother. I’m not a city girl I love the tranquility of nature and especially the mountains.unfortunately, we don't have mountains in the Netherlands! Now I live with my husband, 10 year old son and 2 bunnies in a small town in the state Noord-Brabant. I studied civil engineering and traffic engineering. I lived my whole childhood in a town with my parents and younger sister.
