Author Biography
Loyce Saxton has been designing embroidery patterns for the past 16 years. She lives with her husband in Oregon, where she was born and raised, and loves the mountains and trees that surround her home. The ladies of her family have sewed for generations, and when Loyce was a little girl, her mother would bring out a box of thread, buttons, fabric, beads, felt, pins and needles, and just let her play. Most of what she made were doll clothes. She has been sewing since then. She not only made quilts, but she sewed clothes for herself and for her children. If she's sewing, she's happy. As a wife and mother of three she kept busy with family life until the children were almost grown. Then, with nobody to sew for, she began Yesterday's Charm, a pattern company specializing in hand embroidery and quilting patterns. She was always encouraged to be creative, and the sewing treasures of her mother's are now hers. Those sewing-room treasures were the inspiration for her business. She is always inspired by the past and is constantly searching for new and fresh ideas. You can see her full collection of patterns online at www.yesterdayscharm.com. This is Loyce's first pattern book she is the sole designer of. Loyce has published many designs with Annie's.
