So this is me.. I began stitching when I was 6 years old! My best friend's mother taught me how to do embroidery and by the time I got to 6th grade I had that pillow case covered with iron on transfer designs in a rainbow of colors. I stitched all through high school and college. I love needlework of all types and have a thriving passion for it. I am so thankful to do what I love every single day!
Melva is the newest member of our team. She is tackling all the demands of the accounting department and doing a bang-up job at that! We are still getting to know her and looking forward to telling you more about her as we learn too!
Sara has big shoes to fill as Susan has retired and ‘Tall’ Sara has hit the ground running! She graduated from the University of Kentucky with a degree in arts admission and played the Sax and Drum Major in the Wildcat Marching Band. She has a black cat named Snowball which she is obsessed with… but we understand as we are all pet people!!! Stay tuned, we will let you know more about her as we find out!!
Donna has been working for TMC for 6 years and has been a long time stitcher. She started taking classes from me when she was 8 years old! It wasn’t until a couple of years ago that we found out we are related – and even if we weren’t I would adopt her!
Elizabeth has worked part time on and since 1983… almost the longest TMC employee.
She has lived through all the name changes Designer Belts/Elizabeth Turner Collection/Meredith Collection and will do anything for us like keep the finishing fabric organized and folded! She’s super really fun but is a registered Nurse for her real job and plays with us on her days off.
(all one word because I named her Laura Laine and we like it that way!)
I am so proud to have my daughter working with us at The Meredith Collection! She has been a part of my needlework world since she was born – so she knows a lot more about it than you would think! She is also a Realtor and an avid plant and vegetable grower and the mother of two dogs and a crazy cat. She brings us all joy with her fun sense of humor!
Eliade is our King!
He gets us out of any computer jam, website problem, printer issues, and fixes any time we call him crying (mostly me).
I really feel so fortunate to have him on our team and keeping us up and running.
