About Jim Shore
Jim Shore grew up in an artistic family in South Carolina. With artistic parents and his grandmother a quilter, it's little surprise that he created an artistic business featuring folk art and Amaericana but done in a newer brighter color palette and artistic flair.
As an artist myself I am always intrigued as to how famous artists got their start and grew their business. With Jim he took a handful of his designs to a show with no real plan of how to handle any of the business that come up from it, like shipping product. But the event provided some important contacts and within as little as three years he had over 350 employees and in 2000 Jim entered into a licensing contract.
"My work is not a single statement, but a lot of elements mixed together. I use colors that I love - colonial, antiques, jewel tones and sometimes unusual combinations that I happen to love at the moment. Put together it's a pleasure to look at."

Tips For Creating A Beautiful Cross Stitch
* Clean Hands Are A Must Even clean hands contain natural oils which may not wash out from your cross stitch project when finished and may possibly cause staining sometime in the future. So always wash your hands before working on any cross stitch project but in particular any on white aida.
* Avoid Pulling Your Stitches Too TightTight stitches often cause the cross stitch to pull at an angle and thus it won't stretch straight when it comes time for framing. Also while the framer is pulling on it trying to get it straight, some of your stitches may pop loose.
* Stitch Everything In The Same Direction This will give your cross stitch will have a smooth and tapestry like look.
* Don't Tie Off Your Stitches Using Knots. Knotting your floss will cause it to look and be lumpy when framed. Simply thread the ends through other stitches to hold them firmly in place.
* Bleed Check Your Floss I'm not sure if this is as important as it used to be but it's a good idea to soak floss for bleeding before using it. This way when you wash it before framing it, your colors won't run and ruined all your effort. Also occasionally picture framers use a relaxer when stretching cross stitch and this may cause colors to bleed even if you don't wash it.
* Do Not Leave Cross Stitches In Cross Stitch Hoops For Extended Periods Of Time. Sometimes the ring marks don't wash out.
* In A Like Manner Don't Fold Your Cross Stitch because the edges get creased and dirty and may not wash out. It is best to roll your cross stitch when storing or between stitching.
* Wash (with a mild soap) and if necessary iron your cross stitch before having it framed. Not all frame shops offer this service for you.
