Who We Are
Carol Tilton says she was raised with a needle in her hand. Sitting with her great grandmother, grandmother and mother sewing was part of her upbringing. She graduated with a degree in Home Economics. Crewel was her first love. Her mother started to needlepoint and encouraged her to try it. And as they say the rest is history. Carol is a past president of the Sandhills Needlers a Chapter of ANG in Pinehurst.
Nathalie Thomas learned to stitch, knit and embroider at the age of four from her Grandmother. She kept her hands busy while she traveled across the country twice until she landed in Pinehurst over 15 years ago. She then found The Courtyard Shop, in Southern Pines, where she worked for three years until it closed, learning there was more to needlepoint than just basketweave. She became a partner in Moore than Needlepoint and along with all her duties she finds time to stitch almost every day. It is her therapy. Nathalie is an avid golfer and is a member of the Sandhills Needlers, a chapter of The American Needlepoint Guild.
