Pamela Gurney has had a long love of needlework and handicraft beginning when she was a very young girl. She became enthralled with punchneedle embroidery in the early 1990's and since then her interest has grown to a passion. Pamela is currently the leading proponent of this form of needle art. Since 1997 she has written three books of which this is the third. She has also produced a high quality video, and invented her own Dancing Ribbon Needle for silk ribbon punch embroidery.
