Ramon is the son of talented A Stitch & a Half duo Annemarie and Sybrand le Roux and the grandson of Miems Kemp from Dainty Stitches. At just 20 years of age he is making an impact of his own on the embroidery scene.
Ramon has always been a creative type, he loves making things from scratch and at one stage considered a career in architecture. Towards the end of his schooling Ramon started to take more interest in what his mother was accomplishing. He realised that there were three stages of getting a design into the market place - idea (inspiration), planning (design) and action (implementation). Constantly checking out Annemarie's latest projects, Ramon wondered if he too had his mother's talent. Eventually he took up his mother's offer of digitizing lessons and immediately produced designs of terrific quality and variety - I think we can safely assume he's inherited the family talent! Annemarie does, however, keep a close eye on him and he checks all stitch-outs for their quality and accuracy.
Ramon is a fairly typical young man as he loves the outdoors, camping, fishing, music (he plays the guitar) and cars. He is also buzzing with ideas for embroidery designs, having many sleepless nights where ideas spring from out-of-the-blue and the process to turn them into reality. Ramon's stated aim is to make a fresh contribution to the embroidery scene. Even with many projects on the agenda, Ramon says he would love to complete a house model incorporating embroidery for every area of the home. A Dodge Viper isnt looking all that bad either... |
