As her youngest child was poised to fly the nest for college, this seamstress and her husband were also building a new house that realized her primary request: a room for crafting. Ready to fill the soon-to-be space, Vilcy stopped by a local sewing store and, to her surprise, fell in love with an embroidery machine and software program. Today, her shop brims with bespoke linens.
“Embroidery is just magical for me, from start to finish.” —Vilcy Nelson
