Living in the capital city of Namibia (Africa), Windhoek we can see why this country is a prime choice for many tourists from over the world. Tourism is one of the main sources of income for Namibia. (see our lovely photos below of our trips through this vast country)

Embroidery in Namibia:
Our embroidery designs are available from www.astitchahalf.com. The projects featured have been developed and created by a dedicated team working closely together, ensuring you, our customer receives only the best.

Annemarie (in the middle) is a fun loving person who is the 'heart and soul' of the business. She creates the exquisite designs for the webpage. She loves gardening, cooking and most of all digitizing.
Sybrand (right) makes sure the technical part of the business runs smoothly. When the computers need a good check-up, update, and upgrade or clean-up…he is the PC Doctor. As a real peoples person Sybrand is always ready with a smile or little joke to ensuring happy staff and low stress levels.
Ramon (left) is the pride and joy of his parents Sybrand and Annemarie. Ramon is also the owner of www.embroiderseye.com. Make sure you visit his webpage as well for lovely machine embroidery designs. Off cause the three of us love to brainstorm when spending quality family time together.

Where does it all start and end?

	Besides Sybrand and Annemarie the team consists of Dina, as the supervisor (middle), Victoria (right), Sara (left) and Maria and Protas
	Victoria just loves to stitch out the projects as she herself is a keen seamstress

		Dina makes sure that the embroidery machines are regularly services and stitch out only quality projects.
		Various stitchouts are preformed on a variety of embroidery machines like Bernina Artista 730, Bernina Deco as well as Tajima TFMX and TEJT machines.

	Maria looks for a final time if any detail had been overlooked and when she is happy the project must pass the final approval of Annemarie before any photos can be taken for the webpage.
	Proud projects and a happy team!

	Sara has an eye for detail. She is also a keen learner in mastering the computer to transfer designs successfully to the embroidery machine
	From time to time all personnel receive additional training. Here Protas receives training in welding (from Sybrand`s Dad Johnny) and various aspects of carpentry (one of Sybrand`s specialities)

	All the ladies love to cook and bake…but what about baking a real wedding fruit cake covered with marzipan and sugar flowers. This is what they learned here from Betsie (Sybrand's Mom)
	The proof is in the pudding they say…so needless to say we all sat down for a cup of tea and slice of home baked fruit cake.

	Training at Absolute Embroidery Services is not an effort judging by all the lovely smiles
	And did we mention 'Pikkewyn' our miniature daschund. He is the only member of the team who is allowed to sleep on the job.
