Dress Up Your Table, Reading, PA

This company is a one woman show.  My name is Wendy Nelson.  My specialty is machine embroidery.  

How did I get here....  It started when my children were young and I made their clothing.  After that as I worked full time and went college while having my children, I was doing crocheting, cross stitching, and macrame.  After a while, life got to crazy and I really didn't have much time to be creative.

I ran warehouses for a living and loved what I did.  Working with numbers, I was usually responsible for inventory.  However,  after 25 years of warehousing, my body said I was done and I had to accept being on disability.  Still keep trying to be allowed to go back to work, with no luck.

With plenty of time on my hands, I decided to try to quilt.  I made several quilts, but I wasn't very good at it.  I bought a Bernina sewing machine with machine embroidery and my world came to life.  I make things that I would never have thought possible.  I purchase or create designs and apply them to many different media.

I decided it would be something I would love to share with others.  So I created Dress Up Your Table.  It's been open for over a year, but have so many challenges keeping it up to date, so I'm trying to show my items in  person.
