About Us
canvasses each year - mostly donating them to raise money for charity. As a landscape artist I was inspired to try my hand at designing in this medium but it was not until I moved to Ireland I decided to do something about it. For the five years I have lived here I made my living as a signwriter and mural artist and travelled around Ireland soaking up the landscape - sometimes literally!
In 1999, shortly after getting all the equipment, I had a car accident and broke my hip. Its an ill wind that blows nobody good and after I came out of hospital I had plenty of time to get on with the designs and this website! 18 months later things are getting back to normal although I still cant drive and have instead been all over Ireland by bus and train sketching, photographing and finding outlets for the kits. I dont recommend starting a business with a broken hip but life throws these things at us and our job is to get through it - with a lot of help from our friends! Many Thanks!
cottage is located just four minutes walk from the Atlantic Ocean and the winds blow clear from America. Indeed winds are the norm here and getting a garden going a challenge. So our first harvest of carrots seemed a good image and hopefully Atlantic Cross Stitch will be similarly fruitful.
Remote as Rathlee sometimes seems - we are only an e-mail away and if you have any comments or suggestions we would love to hear from you.
We hope you will enjoy our tapestries
