Hi! I'm Deb Schneider. With my husband Tom (the developer of our site) and four very spoiled cats, we own and operate Windstar Embroidery Designs in Marquette Heights, just east of Peoria, in the very heart of Central Illinois.

Our little bedroom community sits on top of hill overlooking the Illinois river and is bordered on the north and south by hundreds of acres of forest and meadows that are teeming with wildlife, crisscrossed with approximately 50 miles of hiking and mountain biking trails and scenery you wouldn't think existed in this part of the state. All within a 5 minute walk from our home.

I started digitizing in 2004 with Palette, quickly switched to PE-Design and now digitize exclusively with APS-Ethos. I am hooked on Ethos. Comparing PE-Design and Ethos is like trying to compare a fast food hamburger with Kobe beef. It just can't be done.

We launched our site in mid-2005 offering an eclectic collection of design singles and sets. Though we are not tied to any specific genre, I love creating detailed redwork designs and both Tom and myself enjoy doing the research for the Christian embroidery designs.

Stop by soon. We would love to meet you.
