We opened Purl in 2002 with the hope of creating a friendly yarn shop where people could gather and share each other's creativity. In 2006 we opened Purl Patchwork, our fabric shop, just a few doors away from Purl.

I am an artist from Chicago, IL. I work out of a studio on Chicago's West Side not too far from the United Center and Wicker Park.

Eco-friendly craft and fiber arts store in Oak Harbor on Whidbey Island.  Boutique, public access studio, supplies, classes. We specialize in handpainted yarns and recycled wool.  Extensive papercrafts, rovings and more.   Fibers (rovings and yarn) primarily locally sourced.

This follow-up to the best-selling Doodle Stitching offers fans expanded and updated basics, 400+ easy embroidery motifs on the page and on a CD sealed in the back of the book, 17 projects, and lots of added inspiration. More than a dozen categories include Alphabet, Asian Chic, Baby, Celebrations, Embellishments, Fruits & Veggies, Space, Trees, Flowers, Winged Wonders, and Woodland Creatures-and each section includes one motif stitched by the author. 

I started CraftLeftovers.com back in 2006 as a way to keep myself accountable to using up my leftover craft supplies and ever growing stash. Now five years later, it’s a place for others to find patterns, resources, and inspiration to use what is on hand too!

The Chotto Omoshiroi poster is a fun poster where you can learn Japanese, and is a companion to Mogu Takahashi's zine of the same name.

From 16th March 2011, 100% of net profits from the poster will go to the International Red Cross that is sending aid to victims of the earthquake and tsunami that hit Japan on 9th March 2011.

Please note that the poster measures 16.5 x 23.4 inches and is folded into A5 size.
