Myrtle Grace Motifs

Erin has created an amazing company, Myrtle Grace Motifs, that featured designs in both counted cross stitch and punch needle.  Above is an example of the same designed shown in both types of embroidery.  Erin created this design in honor of Kris Scott of Norden Crafts who unexpectedly passed last year.  Erin blogged about how Norden came to distribute her designs and why she wanted to honor Kris in a special way.

5 Little Know Facts about Designs By Lisa

1 ~ Even though the company is *Designs by Lisa*, I may not answer to Lisa, since I go by a shortened version of my middle name which is Kathleen. (Kathy) Why? Because when I was born, my dad was out of town, when he returned, he did not care for the name Lisa which my mother had loved and named me. He started to call me Kathy, and the name stuck. Someone had to give, and my mom lost. So in honor of my mom, I named the business after the name she had really wanted to call me.

2 ~ I model stitched for 4 yrs before starting to design.

3 ~ I have never, ever, bowled in my life. Is that sad or what? It looks fun, sorta.


4 ~ I have an obsession with painting*as in rooms, walls, entire houses, etc.

5 ~ I love riding on the back of my husbands* Harley. There's something to be said about being on a motorcycle winding through beautiful scenery with the wind blowing through your hair (okay, that don*t really happen because I wear a helmet), but the rest is true!
