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 by Paula Yagisawa and Lou Childs. It is operated by Lou and Dale Childs. We opened DHD in 1995, working out of our home. We are a small company that we run as a family. Our granddaughter, Tanya Pancorvo is now learning the business. 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.
