Meet The Designers

Jo Gatenby

Jo Gatenby has been drawing her whole life and doing needlework for almost as long. With the support and encouragement of her DH, Bill, she began designing and publishing her own work under the company name X's & Oh's.

SANDRA PARLOW:

This Canadian designer has been creating since 1998. Together with her Fire Fighter husband, Terry, she has two children and a dog - all of whom keep them running.

She is also part owner in a framing shop (The Lasting Image), where she gets to frame all kinds of wonderful needlework.

VIVIAN BALES:
Known in the on-line community as YUKON VIV, this mother of two (and her DH) really do live in the wonderful Yukon territory of Northern Canada, where inspiration is around every corner!
MARIANNE HEDBERG:
Is our most distant designer - from Sweden! Located near Stockholm with her two teenage children and three cats, she works full-time as an environmental co-ordinator in the construction business.
PAM JORDAN:
Pam has been stitching since she was 5 years old, and her designs tend to emphasize the child that lives within all of us, no matter what our age! She currently lives in Texas, with her DH, Jan, two sons, Johnathan and Jason, and her 'daughter', Happi.
LISA OVERDUIN:
This talented designer had her own company for many years, but is now designing under the X's & Oh's banner...
