Since I
was very young, about 6 years old my favourite past time was ( and is also now)
drawing
I remember my mother
tell me that I always was lying on the floor , with a lot of white paper sheets and
hundred of coloured pencils drawing flower,
animals but first of all little women, princess and fairy.... probably Im the latest
of romantic woman, I really believe in the
angels, in fairies and in all the things that we cant see but we can feel like the
sun on the skin and the scent of spring incoming....
When I grow up I attend classic school and than I star work in a company
that was a supplier for drilled mass lam what
I desire to do was completely different from reality, but I had need a job and I stay in
that company for 12 year, as a commercial and
graphics manager ...In that period Ive made some stages to become a web designer and
a graphics designer ... and also I spent 3
month in U.K. , Landon to learn a little bit of English and the woman where I lived were a crazy stitcher.... I simply
fall in love with cross stitch, because in Italy the cross stitch was a quite bit unknown
hobby and craft and when I come back in Italy
I start to collect all the best designs I could find around the world and start stitch a lot of picture as you can see
here,( I can't stop drawing and stitching my and also
original charts from other designer... ), since one night I made a strange dream, I was drawing a little
fairy and after that I was stitchin it..
..That was the beginning of all
. My
husband ( I married in 1994) always pushed me in this way, he was very proud of my designs
and he was sure that one day I could become a
very good cross stitch designer
. Form
that period I start to create cross stitch designs
and then I create and published
on internet in the 1998 my first homepage, and it become a trade mark in the 2000 with the
name and logo Passione Ricamo®

I forgot to tell about my story that my first supporter and fan is my son
Giulio! When I make a design, he always tell me if I must make some changing or if the
design is o.k. .... And all the picture I've had stitched are of my son.... But
also my husband have his personal favourites designs... I can't touch the "romantic
stitcher , because it is only for him like the old red sampler, meanwhile Giulio is
simply devoted to the Moon fairy spirit, she is his favourite, and also of Giulio are the
others fairy.....And for me? What? They always tell me that I must only design and stitch
for them....
I would
like also to tell you simply that I am "Passione Ricamo" !!!
Passione Ricamo is my company and also a virtual shop, where I have putted the power of my
dreams and the crazy love for cross stitch of a simply woman like you... I 've made
personally all the designs in my gallery and personally I look at the print and
package processing of all my charts packs with devote care, one by one, thinking of
all the lovely ladies that will buy and use them......Passione Ricamo® is a Trade mark,
but also a beauty Show Room in the real world
. Like
in the best story tales, when the dreams come true, my husband and I we be able to create
the Atelier of Passione Ricamo
The
atelier is in Voghera, a little city 80 km
far from Milan, in that piece of land that the italian call the Oltrepo
pavese well know for the finest wines and for the sweet hills of this land
a
little Tuscany in the north of italy
. Voghera, the city was an antique Roman village
Vicus in latin, and the house in the centre of the city are very antique
in one of this antique Italian house of the year 700, we open the Passione Ricamos
atelier : the ceiling is antique and made in full brick, a classic italian style, and the
floor is made in terracotta tiles.....a little piece of ancien beauty
.
...And
in this lovely place, stitchers can take a rest and enjoy themself looking at the Passione

coffee with me Laura G. Lattuada... |
