Juli Poitras has been designing needlepoint since her mother first taught her to paint. Growing up in Dallas, she developed a love of art at an early age. Her mother moved to Carmel in 1970 to open a needlepoint store, and Juli began to design. Her work sold steadily and she became one of their most prolific artists. Today, her unique designs are avidly collected around the world. Juli's studio is in Carmel Valley, about 120 miles south of San Francisco. Her adorable little dog, "Koko," is always at her side.
