Julie Sackett - Needlepoint became a passion for Julie when her 30+ year career in human resources, required heavy traveling, providing her with many hours for stitching while out of town. Travel also afforded her the opportunity to scout out the best needlepoint shops around the country - which is how she found Quail Run in Scottsdale! In the late '80's Julie began designing and teaching needlepoint. This led to a series of charted designs for ornaments, kimonos, eggs and pillows. She now designs handpainted canvases as well.
