Notes

Brenda learned various types of needlework from her mother’s eldest sister when she was very young, including embroidery, sewing, crocheting, and knitting. She particularly loves designing and has done more knitwear design since retiring from her job as a librarian. Now she designs and knits embroidered wall art and one-of-a-kind knitted and embroidered hats, scarves, and accessories.
