About Me

Welcome! I'm Kathleen Berlew, a compulsive needlecrafter and yarn addict. I love to crochet, cross-stitch, and sew pretty things from felt and fabric. I couldn't possibly pick a favorite type of stitching, so I make time to do them all. 

On this blog I'll be keeping you up to date on my maker's life, including when my designs are featured in magazines. From time to time, I'll also share patterns and projects that I hope will inspire your needlework compulsion. (Click on the "Printable Patterns" tab to see projects that are available now.) 

When I'm not stitching or crocheting (or more accurately, while I'm stitching and crocheting) I love spending time with my amazing family and watching British mysteries and campy sci-fi films. I also like to cook and read, but I can't do either of those with a hook or hoop in my hand.
