"I have always been interested in working with textiles and studied textile and design at Olds College and weaving at The Banff Centre of the Arts. In 1989 I established my own needlework business that specializes in reproductions of museum samplers from Europe and North America as well as teaching workshops. My involvement in the arts has extended into painting and I’ve has been taking workshops and courses over the past number of years." - Margriet Hogue
