Bussi, Gail: - Gail Bussi is well known as a cross stitch designer, starting her work in the early 1990s, and has had her work published in all of the major needlework magazines in the UK, US, and France, and is the author of 4 needlework books published in London and several leaflets with Leisure Arts in the US. Her images and artwork have also been made into greeting cards and other items. After suffering personal trauma, she stopped creating for a time, but has recently found healing through the power of stitching meaningful words in her designs and finding peace in the stitching itself, and wants to share that power with others.
