Website: MacAvoy Sisters
The MacAvoy Sisters, Moira and Ellen, are based in Charlottesville, Virginia, where they teach workshops and design patterns for freestyle embroidery using basic hand sewing skills and quilting techniques. Their focus is on working with you as you create pretty and practical items to enhance your life or give to a loved one. Between them, the sisters have more than 100 years of stitching experience. Their team approach gives them versatility and range in their teaching and designing. Their patterns and kits use wool felt, felted wool, linen or linen type fabrics, quilting weight cottons, perle cotton threads, and DMC floss. You can find the MacAvoySisters shop on Etsy.
