FANTASY

Renato Parolin

It seems only yesterday that, one autumn evening, I began my fi rst piece of cross-sti tch: an owl all in colour on a small jute bag, with some old wool of my grandmother’s. It was back in 1986, the year I married Paola and the year I dedi- cated myself to cross-sti tch. 30 years have passed since then, divided between my family and my work, my passion for my wife and children and my passion for my hobby. In that ti me our house has become home to over a thousand pieces, made for R&P collecti ons, our private collecti on, magazines, books, freesheets, embroi- dery days, birthdays etc.
