We all owe a huge debt of gratitude to the Kreinik family for the metallic threads that make our stitching lives so wonderful. I believe they opened the door for other thread manufacturers to walk though so that today we have a huge range of choice when it comes to picking threads. I thought you'd like to read a bit about Mrs. Estelle Kreinik's retirement party at their Parkersburg, West Virginia location, and that you'd like to join me in wishing a real needlepoint pioneer well in retirement.

I first met Estelle Kreinik in the 1070's - a lovely lady, and she and Jerry did a wonderful job of building their business into what it is today.
