In each of her La-D-Da cross stitch pieces, Lori Markovic combines the homey appeal of primitive samplers with a touch of modern flair.

"I wanted to try designing a sampler, because I was thinking a lot about the girls who stitched those Early American pieces. Their lives were all about family, home, and faith--ideals that run through all generations. And that's how I started La-D-Da Designs." Lori and husband Bob live in Wisconsin, where they are happily surrounded by family. Lori likes to garden and bird watch, which no doubt inspires many of the natural elements in her designs. Another inspiration is the strong sense of community she enjoys with fellow cross-stitchers. See less
