Teresa (Terri) Riley, proprietor of Paper On Parade, also known as POP Embroidery have for over 40 years used her hands to lovingly created and designed a variety of projects.
Terri said her Grandmother taught her to sew when she was 8 years old and she was using a sewing machine with ease by 10. At 56, she continues to enjoy sewing, embroidery, scrapbooking and just about any type of crafts. Sometimes it is difficult to stay focused on one project.
Terri’s wonderful husband and 3 grown children have supported and encouraged her throughout the years and all the moves. Her husband is retired from the Air Force and she and her family lived in some interesting and lovely areas over his 24-year career.
Terri and her family move to Asheville last summer which brought about many changes, as they are now empty-nesters. Terri mention her family is number one.
Terri set up her embroidery machine while unpacking and realized how much she missed sewing and embroidery. She wanted to keep the online recognition of PaperOnParade, her first online venture of scrapbooking. Therefore POP embroidery by PaperOnParade was born. Even though she gets lots of questions about the name, Terri have maintained the online foundation built thus far and enjoy the questions as it gives her a chance to meet more wonderful people.
Terri’s standouts ones are wedding dresses, dance outfits, hand smocking, picture frame mat designing and teaching machine embroidery and sewing. Terri realizes some of her designs will be passed down through generations is an honor and inspires her to keep pressing on. The amount of sales has too much of an impact on my attitude sometimes, so I strive to stay positive and keep moving forward…. sales or no sales.
Terri Mission is “Sharing machine embroidery with those who love personalized gifts and treasures. Value each day and always look up!”
Also, she has a heart for encouraging people to stay positive through tough times. It is a season of life and things will get better, just keep speaking uplifting words and smile when you feel like crying. You never know when you’ll bring light to someone’s day.A successful business woman willing and able to give back to the community that birthed my success.
