An interview with… Jeannine McGowan

Between balancing books and creating heirloom-quality designs, the master of multitasking, Jeannine McGowan of The Blue Flower, is a busy lady! She took time from her job, Flosstube channel, and her own cross stitch pattern business to sit down with us and share how she makes the magic happen!

What is the story of your relationship with needlework?

Like so many in this community, I was taught to cross stitch as a child. However, it never held my interest when I was young. As an adult, though, I was fortunate enough to live near a wonderful shop infrom what I’d done as a child. I’ve never had art training, and I confess I do envy other designers’ drawing ability. But I hope someday I’ll be able to learn about art and design as well.
