Hi Cross Stitch Enthusiasts, I'm Michelle Dorothy Riksman, Ellen's daughter. My mother had a certain elegance and strength that I have admired since I was a little girl. I've also lived in awe of her artisanship in all its forms. Tapestry, knitting, crochet, needlework, beading, pottery, ceramics, painting, and drawing were lifelong interests.

Mum's hands were never idle, embroidery her constant companion. Cross-stitch presented her with countless projects and many years of amusement and pleasure in later years, creating Cards and Gift Tags for most occasions. Now you can express every sentiment imaginable through your handiwork. Below I share with you a petite collection of her precision work.
