Denise and Carl Pester began Rose Alma Designs in 1994. Their aim has been
to produce a range of New Zealand and general cross-stitch kits with their
own definite flavour.
Denise's grandmother was Rose Alma Pimm. She used to do embroidery and some cross-stitch while her husband Bertie was a keen cross-stitcher.
Bertie Designs didn't have the same ring to it as
Rose Alma Designs.
You will find in our catalogue the 'Country Cow' designed from a drawing by Shirley Pimm, wife of Dick Pimm, nephew to Rose Alma.
Denise's Mum helps us out, along with our children at times, making it a three-generation business.
