About Althea's Needles and Threads Online

	A BIT ABOUT US
This was us at 'St Andrews' Minore NSW (photo taken quite a few years ago). Althea died suddenly from a heart attack in July 2002. I have continuing our business, as she would have wished. After 25 years on 'St Andrews', ( about 15 miles west of Dubbo in NSW) - I have left the farm and am in Green Point NSW (near Gosford). Althea's Needles and Threads Online came from Althea's frustration in trying to buy her own embroidery supplies. We started this project in early 1997 and opened for business at the end of June. Since Althea's death, I have moved to be closer to family and re-married. As I have passed normal retirement age, I am gradually selling off all products to concentrate on selling Embird software and taking up some leisure activities. Visitors to Althea's Needles and Threads are normally welcome between 10am & 2pm on weekdays but it is a good idea to phone ahead if you wish to visit. However, please do not expect a normal retail operation. We are still a mail order business and do not have set public visiting hours. The other site hosted on our domain is TAFTA (Textile Fibre Forum Magazine). For a different point of view, visit my younger brother's site in Austin Texas. (I was born in Arkansas, grew up in Okla and came to Australia in 1971 and Althea was from Sydney) Althea 16 May 1941 - 7 July 2002
