Kathy Fenchel - Kathy's husband suggested needlepoint classes 27 years ago while she was expecting a child. That "temporary" hobby has turned into a life-long love and over the last 27 years, she has grown from the "avocado and gold" with wool to a level of creativity any stitcher would envy. Kathy has stitched models for and worked in a needlepoint shop, taken numerous classes nationally, and given private lessons in her home and others. Several years ago, she began creating her own designs, which are now taught in shops and at guild meetings across the country. Her special interest is stumpwork, which she now combines with canvas techniques to create dimension and texture in her designs. Kathy conducts a weekly canvas-enhancement class in the Detroit area and has demonstrated needlework techniques on HGTV. These designs are whimsical yet thoughtful and should make a great addition to any shop and especially its class program. Ms. Fenchel is available for teaching in shops and at guild classes.
