I come from a long line of crafters in the Southwestern Hills of Virginia, where many in my family grew up doing needlework, woodwork, and many other artsy things. Over the last 43 years, I have allowed my personal love for mathematics, art, and crochet to come together and as a result, it has made it possible to offer my lovely creations to the world in the form of original crochet patterns and unique, often one-of-a kind handcrafted items. My Pug Pillow pattern has traveled all around the world and it pleases me to no end to see people love it so.  I've even made a few custom afghans in the past that were used for signs inside of businesses, which I thought was a pretty clever use for them!</div> <bR> <div> I do tend to be almost OCD when it comes to getting a pattern or an item "just right" and am no stranger to "frogging", let me tell you.  Before you think I'm making a new curse word, frogging is the crochet term for ripping out work and doing it AAALLL over again.  You know, actually, it does feel like a curse word after all! Anyway.....</div> <bR> <div> <I>The Dream</I></div> <bR> <div> I began creating patterns for home decor and eventually gravitated towards other areas like jewelry, clothing accessories and more. I love making pattern sets for specific rooms in the house.  Crochet can be such a beautiful addition to ones home and decor.  My Pug collection was birthed from my own cute pug, Meezu (now deceased) who modeled the 3-D pug applique/motif you seen in may of those patterns.</div> <bR> <div> With such a wide variety of fun things to make, I thought it would be great to offer my patterns on my own website.</div> <bR> <div> <I>The Realization</I></div> <bR> <div> I have designed patterns for about 20 years and have sold many of them online - formerly eBay, and now Etsy, Craftsy, and Ravelry, and of course, here at Needle Me That. </div> <bR> <div> I spent 30 years being a mom and housewife and worked outside the home for most of those years, so I have been a busy lady!  But as a new "empty nester", I found time and opportunity to pursue my dream of creating my own little crochet world....er, I mean "shop".  </div> <bR> <div> So I hope you enjoy browsing my pages and maybe find a little something for yourself, a friend, or family member.</div> <bR> <div> And thanks so much for popping in!</div> <bR> <div> <I>Vicki</I></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> </tD> </tR> </TABLE></B></div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="id119.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Customer Reviews"><U><I>Customer Reviews</I></U></A></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div> <A HREF="http://www.crochet.org/" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.crochet.org/"><U><I><IMG SRC="123de5b80.jpg" border=0 width="229" height="184" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></I></U></A></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div> <B><IMG SRC="b75c9200.jpg" border=0 width="457" height="32" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></B></div> <bR> <bR> <div> <I>Ephesians 2:8  "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God"</I></div> <bR> <bR> <div> <I><B>Home       <IMG SRC="87908090.jpg" border=0 width="8" height="9" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">       </B></I><A HREF="faq.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="FAQ"><U><I><B>FAQ</B></I></U></A><I><B>       <IMG SRC="87908090.jpg" border=0 width="8" height="9" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">       </B></I><A HREF="crochet_patterns.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Crochet Patterns"><U><I><B>Patterns  </B></I></U></A><I><B>         <IMG SRC="87908090.jpg" border=0 width="8" height="9" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">         </B></I><A HREF="about_me.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="About"><U><I><B>Contact</B></I></U></A><I><B>  </B></I></div> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>Copyright 2018 Vicki Moore</B></div> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
