The F.A. Edmunds Co. started out as a manufacturer and distributor of wood products and dowel rods. In 1952 an executive at Sear Roebuck asked them to develop a rug frame to be sold in the Sear's mail order catalogs. The success of this frame prompted the company to develop frames for other types of needlework. In the 1960s and 70s the Edmunds' line of needlework frames and accessories were sold throughout the country in large department stores such as Sear Roebuck, J.C. Penny, Montgomery Wards, F.W. Woolworth and specialty chains and catalogs.
In 1970 the Edmunds Company moved into a larger facility and increased production. The Company's success continued as they added more products to meet the needlework enthusiasts' changing needs. The F.A. Edmunds line now includes hoops, frames and stands used for quilting, cross stitch, needlepoint, tapestry, crewel, latch hook, embroidery and punch needle embroidery. Today the F.A. Edmunds' brand can be found in specialty chains, stitchery catalogs, internet outlets and independent retailers throughout the US, Canada, Europe, South and Central America and Asia.
Edmunds is proud to make the "tools" that stitcher's use to make their craft more enjoyable.
