I am so happy to introduce you to my friend Louise Hashimoto.
I thoroughly enjoy stitching with her. Her calm presence and perfect stitches are so inspiring! Louise is the one stitcher I know who 'lays' every stitch even in basketweave! One day, looking over her shoulder to admire her work as she painstakingly worked a stitch, I commented on how beautiful her stitching is. . .
She replied, ". . . This is the back".

Louise writes: "I'm delighted to be a guest stitcher here in Rosalyn's website. My introduction to needlepointing began at the time of my retirement in 1993, when I started to take lessons.

Two years later I met Rosalyn and Judy Schwartz, in classes; since then a group of us have been stitching at the table."
