About

Keeping You In Stitches is written by Nancy Van Patten.

I am retired and living in Costa Rica. I always have some kind of stitch work going and my yarn stash is epic. (Yes, I moved it ALL to Costa Rica with my four dogs and one husband and my Smart car.)

UPDATE: One dog has since died and we sold Ms. Smartie.

I have a Babylock Ellisimo embroidery machine and an external hard drive full of patterns – that I can never find because I”m not a very good “filer” and the cataloging software is too complicated.
