Deanna Powell

---

I have exhibited, lectured and taught needlework nationally and internationally for thirty years. Currently I am designing embellished clothing and accessories. This phase of my career complements my many years of teaching needlearts and offers students the opportunity
to combine several embroidery techniques.

I am a charter member of Fiber Forum, an EGA group formed to
advance the perception of needlework as an art form, an EGA certified
teacher, certified graduate teacher, and past president of EGA. To share my knowledge I have contributed to many magazines, self-published several booklets and numerous patterns.
