A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ME:
Welcome Cross Stitch and Needle Enthusiasts!
My name is Marie. I was born in Châteauroux, France; a small town a couple hours South of Paris. My father was in the military and met my mother while stationed in France. I was raised in Virginia where I met my husband and happily took on the roles of wife, homemaker and mother. My family loves the historic areas of Yorktown, Colonial Williamsburg, the old plantations as well as the proximity to the beaches and mountains.
My first love was drawing. From an early age, I would keep myself entertained for hours drawing whatever came to mind. As a child I wanted to be a cartoonist for Disney. My mother and aunt were professional seamstresses, and I learned by watching them work. On occasion, I was asked to help with small finishings. As I got older, my interests changed and I developed a passion for the needle arts. I've stitched waiting for the school bus, riding to and from church, waiting at the doctor's office, early mornings, late nights and anytime in between. My appreciation of the arts and natural beauty, combined with hard work in creating needlework is a skill I now do full time. I hope it will be passed on through my family, friends and stitching enthusiasts for generations to come. I have always loved designing my own pieces, and my friends urged me to share my designs with the world Thus, Blackberry Lane Designs, LLC, was born in March of 2008.
I hope you enjoy stitching my designs as much as I have enjoyed creating them for you. Please don't hesitate to send me photos of my pieces you've completed. I'd LOVE to see them!
