about shannon zimolong
Shannon Zimolong was born and raised on the Main Line of Philadelphia where she currently resides with her family after many years of adventures on both East and West Coasts. With an eye for style and textiles, Shannon's career began in New York City where she co-founded a women's clothing line which was sold in boutiques nationwide. Following this experience she got married, started a family and harnessed her love for fabrics, design and pretty little details into a small interior design and styling business. While her life and career have taken her to various places, the one thing that has always remained constant is her passion for stitching! From her very first canvas nearly twenty years ago, needlepoint has always served as an outlet for creativity, a source of calm in the chaos of everyday life and thus, the perfect platform for her next adventure.
