Jeannette Douglas Designs began in 1998 after a family trip to the Rockies... the rest is history.
About
Jeannette Douglas
Although Jeannette Douglas created her first needlework designs after this special trip, stitching has always been a part of Jeannette's life. As a teenager, she enjoyed many different types of needlework. Jeannette has a background in floral design and folk art painting, both of which give her knowledge of color and design. She puts a great deal of research in her designing efforts. Teaching has been a big part of her business since 2002.
Jeannette Douglas lives in Calgary, Alberta, Canada with her husband and two daughters. She still works casual part-time shifts in the Psychiatric unit at a local hospital where she worked for many years. She is a singer and has sung with the Calgary Philharmonic Choir, which she gave up four years ago.

Wilma Cupido is the “factory’ and makes all the embellishment or thread packs.
Margaret Blank is the ‘girl Friday’ or bookkeeper and keeps the business end working smoothly.
Beth Allan from Dartmouth, NS has been model stitching for Jeannette since 2000 and is one amazing stitcher who can interpret absolutely wild directions.
