Denise Harrington Pratt of Amaryllis Artworks is an artist and needlework designer. The focus of Denise’s work is counted thread embroidery. Her passion for needlework and teaching may be summed up as follows “I love all of the elements that are indicative of fine needle art, the beauty of texture and color on fabric, the pleasure of the feel of fine linen, the satisfaction of learning a challenging stitch, and the delight of a quality composition. To share this with others is one reason I teach. It is an honor to share with stitchers the enthusiasm they have for creating on fabric, learning new skills and stitching heirlooms of tomorrow.”
