About Me
- Penny Nickels
- Portland
- "Penny and Johnny are the Bonnie and Clyde of contemporary embroidery." -Mr. X Stitch- Our response- "I'm a professional, God damn it. I live in a car." I also write for Mr. X Stitch and Feeling Stitchy. FACE! *There has been some confusion as to who actually writes this blog. It's me, Penny Nickels. Johnny Murder (Manbroidery Founder) is my husband, and occasionally he chimes in and we share a few posts.
