Hand embroidery, of one kind or another, is thousands of years old. It was used in Ancient Egypt to decorate the hems of royal robes, in tapestries in the Middle Ages, and in ladies' samplers during the Colonial and Victorian eras. It continues as an art form today. Many people are familiar with counted cross stitch - a cousin to hand embroidery - and it seems that counted cross stitch has nearly eclipsed it. However, there are many people who still love to work hand embroidery, and it decorates wall hangings, pillowcases, quilts and table runners.
Hand embroidery is a beautiful art that almost anyone can learn. It is an art that should be preserved and well worth learning.
About Us
Owner, Sylvia Fooshee is a former Home Economics teacher and mother of 3 grown children. I started sewing and hand embroidery as a child, which later grew into a fun hobby and finally into an enjoyable business. Though much of my business deals with smocking and heirloom supplies, I am always eager to teach this lovely needle art to any enthusiastic student.
My business began in 1992 with custom heirloom sewing & developed into teaching english smocking & heirloom sewing. The opportunity came in 1995 to handle supplies out of my home & start a budding mail order business for smocking & heirloom sewing and hand embroidery supplies. Though most of my business is mail order, I do invite you to stop by and shop if you are in the Tulsa area at our Tulsa embroidery shop. Please call ahead for an appointment & directions.
I try to have many of "the basics" for those who are just starting out, as well as some special & hard to find items for the more accomplished artisan. It is my hope that this website will be a means of better serving those of you who have a hard time finding supplies in the areas where you live. I always welcome suggestions on things you would desire I carry.
The opportunity is also here for classes in a variety of areas. I offer classes for the beginner through advanced levels in smocking, fine hand embroidery & heirloom sewing. Please feel free to inquire based on your needs & interests whether it is on an individual level or for a small group. Teaching is available here in my Tulsa embroidery shop/studio or in your area for a guild or sewing club.
