| Judy Bielec

| Judy is half of the Mosey 'n Me duo and has always loved and appreciated all forms of needlework. She enjoys learning new things and sharing them with others. She has taught needlework and needle felt classes for shops and at needlework markets. Needle felting has become a passion, and she creates mainly 3 dimensional pieces although flat felting is quicker. Anyone can needle felt. Once you start you will find it's a wonderful addiction - just like stitching.

| Debra Koch
|
| Deb, owner of Stitches N Things since 1992, has been enthusiastically stitching on gauze ever since taking her first class in 2002 at 8:00 am in the morning in poor conference room lighting! Coming from a cross-stitch background as opposed to that of a canvas stitcher, Deb prefers not to stitch the background as usually seen with gauze, but instead allows the design to"'speak for itself"' through the use of a colored background used as a mounting board so that the stitchery really 'pops'!
