For Renée Nanneman, fabric designing is just another creative vision. Renee's first fabric collection was inspired by an old fabric covered box. Renée entered the needlework market starting her publishing business, The Need'l Love Company, Inc., in 1984 with counted cross-stitch designs. Her creativity moved her exclusively cross-stitch company into the quilting industry with the publication of Woodland Threads in 1995. This first-of-its-kind book featured wool appliqué penny rugs and a variety of other needlework projects.
