Jenny Stephenson has had a lifelong interest in embroidery and related textile arts and has been able to happily concentrate on these since her retirement from her full-time career in Occupational Therapy and Mental Health Education. Having been taught to stitch by her mother and grandmother, embroidery was an important part of her early life and their love for it was instilled in Jenny. Jenny has been teaching embroidery for several years in retail embroidery outlets in Western Australia.
