Title: Hello from beautiful Nova Scotia!
Post by: scrollgirl on May 09, 2010, 11:00:27 am
Hi, everyone!  My name is Sheila Landry and I am originally from the Chicago area and now live in beautiful Nova Scotia.  I love all types of woodworking and scroll sawing, as well as decorative and fine art painting.  I am fortunate enough to be able to design scroll saw, woodworking and painting patterns for a living and have been working as a Contributing Editor for Creative Woodworks and Crafts magazine for over 13 years, as well as have my own pattern company, Sheila Landry Designs.

I love mixing up different techniques to make unusual and unique designs that are fun to make and give to others.  I find that woodworkers in general are some of the most kind, giving and generous people in the world and it makes life a joy to be able to interact with them on a daily basis.  In my many years of teaching both scrolling and painting, I found that I learn as much as I teach from my students and customers.  There are always several paths to a single destination, I find.

I look forward to participating and learning from this forum and the wonderful people involved here.  I only recently discovered this site and I am absolutely amazed at the quality of patterns that Steve comes up with, as well as the readers' contributions.  I think it is a wonderful vehicle that will help our scroll saw community grow and stay healthy and I hope that I can contribute to it in a positive way!

Thanks, Steve for your hard work and making all this possible!

Sheila
