My name is Linda Björk Eiríksdóttir. I live in Reykjavík, Iceland with my 2 daughters. Sumarrós is the older one, born in 1999 and Karítas Árný is the younger one, born in 2005. I am born in 1978.
My mother tought me how to cross stitch at a very early age. I did it on and off until I became pregnant with Sumarrós, then the bug bit me hard and I have been cross stitching ever since. You could say that I am addicted and I love it.
In the year 2007 I was fortunate enough to be contacted by Kirsten Edwards, the editor and owner of The Gift Of Stitching Magazine. I wrote an article for the May issue about Icelandic Embroidery and its history and even got featured as a designer when my pattern ‘Icelandic Biscornu’ got published. I got featured as a designer again in the same magazine, the December issue 2007, with my ‘This Is Christmas’ needle roll.
Designing is something that I would like to do more of, but as a single mother of two, I do not have enough hours in the day at the moment. Maybe when my girls are older I can dedicate some time to designing.
Lately I do a lot more of knitting and crocheting than cross stitching.

It looks great, honey!
Love the blog! So should we see you on Dancing with the Stars soon?
Linda (TX)
Very very interesting. You must miss dancing… Any chance your DH might learn with you?
And your design in the Gift of Stitching is stunning, I love stitching it: it brings a harmonious feeling.
IT looks great. And I love the pics of you and the girls across the top of your blog.
Linda having had you in my home, I feel like I missed learning a whole new side of you. Congrats on your wins.
Hugs,
Sandy

Linda – Your blog is very interesting and I am amazed at all your beautiful stitching. You certainly are prolific. I would love to win one of your prizes. Your finishing is fantastic, and that is something I need to practice but first I have to stitch and “finish” something. Thanks for sharing! Hugs, June in NB, Canada
