Shop Announcement

We would like to introduce you to our new house designer Lisa Kampel

Under the direction of Freda, Lisa is now creating her own line of counted canvas designs as “Lisa’s Lovelies” under the Freda’s Fancy Stitching label.  Lisa’s designs are available only on the Freda’s Fancy Stitching website and Etsy shop.

If you recall, Freda sold the Freda’s Fancy Stitching business to Lisa on January 1, 2024, so that she could spend more time with her family and focus on her designing.

Lisa is the person behind the scenes of Freda’s Fancy Stitching. She manages the website, Etsy shop, Facebook and Instagram and does all the marketing - and now she's designing too!
