Marnie Ritter has been a needle artist for over thirty years, working
as a teacher, lecturer, judge, and designer. During her career, she has
worked continuously to integrate innovative techniques with a plethora
of conventional approaches - silk and metal threads, crewel embroidery,
and surface stitch resulting in works with an aesthetic that sets them
apart in needle art. Marnie is certified as a teacher by the Council of
American Embroiderers (CAE) in Surface Stitchery and is a member of EGA’s
Fiber Forum. Her teaching philosophy encourages students to put aside
their fears, enabling them to try new concepts. She has taught across
the USA for guilds, local seminars, and for National Seminars including
those sponsored by ANG, EGA, and CAE. Among her many publications, Marnie
counts several books, including “Marnie Ritter’s Canvas Patterns”
and “Embroidery My Way”. Her designs have been featured on
the front cover of Needlepoint Now Plus and the inaugural issue of needlepoint
now.
