From The Caron Collection:
Marilyn Vredevelt is an internationally-known designer and teacher. Her classes focus on decorative stitches as seen in her lovely samplers. She has received several "Golden Needle Awards" presented by Coats & Clark with Anchor Brand, including the Grand Prize in 1997, and was awarded Wichelt's 1995 "Designer of the Year" and "People's Choice Award" for her excellence in needlework. Marilyn was a needlework shop owner for twenty years, but is first and foremost an avid needlework consumer. She learned to stitch from her mother and grandmother, and began accumulating her incredible needlework stash as a teenager. Her design company, Stoney Creek Collection, Inc., published its first books in 1984 because Marilyn couldn't find the kind of designs she wanted to stitch. Since then, Stoney Creek and its subsidiary, Raindrop Designs, have published over 400 cross-stitch and needlework books and leaflets, dozens of kits, and the popular Stoney Creek Cross Stitch Collection bimonthly magazine that premiered in 1989.
