About Us

The Princess & the Peddler has been a dream of mine for years.  I have been a stitcher, quilter, and knitter for many, many years with my preferred genre being the primitive, vintage era.  Many years ago, I owned a brick and mortar retail shop that specialized in quilting.  I closed the shop after a few years and started a wholesale business in which I made a gift line for tourist shops along the beautiful southern shore of Lake Erie.  I would make dolls, bunnies, christening gowns, shaker dresses and the like spending countless hours behind my sewing machine, and  enjoying every minute.

Now, I would love to inspire and help you create heirlooms for your family to cherish.  The timing is right for me to make this dream come true. 

My plan is to make this a place to help you love needlework as much as I do.  I will be offering tutorials, ideas, stitch-a-long projects, the occasional free pattern and much more as we grow.

Oh, and this is the most exciting part of all.  We are designing our own line of products.
