Jennifer says: I started stitching in the 1980s at approximately 10 years of age. My grandmother and my dad were stitchers back then and I learned from them. My dad made macrame in the 70s, cross stitch in the 80s and has been making stained glass ever since!
Cindi says: Hi, I'm 43 and a mom of 5 kids; 4 girls and a boy. I'm a fairly busy mom as you can imagine, two of my children are on the spectrum as well. So, between that and working as a cook at my youngest children's school, I'm pretty busy!
