Introducing Down Home Dreams, Inc.

We would like to thank you for your interest in our company and the designs that we sell. Down Home Dreams and Embroidery Dreamers are owned and operated by Paula Yagisawa and Louisa Childs. We opened DHD in 1995, working out of our homes. In 1998 we had grown to the point where we had to move into our current offices. We are a small company that we run as a family (even our husbands help). As a small company, we try to help the other small companies in this field; both the home run craft companies, and the small retail shops.

We strive to provide our customers with quality designs made specifically for the small home embroidery machines and we encourage their use for resale items as well as for personal use.

We are always looking for fresh, new ideas, and look forward to hearing suggestions from our customers.

Paula Yagisawa is the President and Co-owner of DHD. Paula has a BS in Elementary Education, which really shows in her manuals, and teaching skills. She has been involved in sewing, arts and crafts her entire life and uses these skills to bring to life many of the children's designs DHD produces. Her love for hand embroidery and the Japanese hand crafts combine to make her reproductions of hand embroidery and quilting designs have the look of hand work. Paula is married with three children, Tanya, Jonathan and Thomas. Her husband, Takefumi, is a computer engineer and does much of our programming.

 

 

Louisa Childs (Lou) is the vice president and co-owner of DHD. She has an Associate Degree in German which is good for absolutely nothing, and a long career in business management which has been utilized greatly in this endeavor. Lou combines her 40 years experience in sewing, crafting, and painting to create the intricate detail shown in her thread art. She is married with three children, Paula (president of DHD), Marcus and Eric (who both also hold positions with the company). Her husband, Dale, is a computer engineer and does some of DHD's programming and helps keep the hardware running.
