Welcome to Teresa Layman Designs! Ours is a very
small world.
We make the original miniature knotwork embroidery
kits.
We are a wholesale company which means we sell only to shops.
So we encourage you to check your local shop for our kits or click
our “Find a Shop” tab where you will see many shops
who will be eager to fill your order by phone, mail or email!
Take a peek at our designs... From classical to
whimsical, each one is a treasure. We have miniature knotwork,
cross-stitch and have even licensed a few designs for needlepoint.
Whatever your favorite form of needlework, these lovely designs
are a joy to stitch!
Welcome to the Gingerbread Kitchen. This beautiful
little building became a major focus of the Chicago International
Miniature Show in April.
It also drew constant "ooohs and aaaahhs" at the International Guild of Miniature Artisans show in Teaneck, NJ in February, 2008, the The Sturbridge Festival of Miniatures, in Sturbridge, MA in June, and also at the National NeedleArts Association trade show
(open to trade only), Columbus, OH.
The Gingerbread Kitchen has been delivered to its new home in the Kathleen Savage Browning Miniatures Collection at the Kentucky Gateway Museum Center in Maysville, Kentucky, where it will be on display seasonally.
For those of you who have seen the sweet world inside the Gingerbread Kitchen in person, I hope you will always remember it. Kaye Browning and I extend an invitation to everyone to visit Maysville, KY and see this creation in person along with one of the most beautiful collections of exquisite miniatures on the planet.
This special miniature house was featured in the June issue if Miniature Collector magazine as well as several other international publications this year.
A photo book of this wonderful house is available for $25 plus postage by calling Teresa between 9am and 8pm eastern time and supplying your credit card information.
