Salted Thread

I never could decide which I loved best, quilting or hand embroidery. My mom and grandmother gifted both of these worlds to me. My mom was a master embroiderer. She was left handed, me right handed…learning to create French Knots was especially challenging…and then my dad got involved. ☺

My grandmother found use for every single scrap of fabric. My favorite…when she would create a quilt for one of my dolls. Later after I learned a few embroidery stitches I would embellish these tiny quilts.

I specialize in and create original hand embroidery designs. With these designs I make personal accessories: wrist cuffs, brooches, rings, and necklaces. I also make some clothing and embellish with embroidery.

Hand embroidery and home décor go hand-in-hand. From beautiful quilts, pillows, wall décor all of these items make your home cozy.

Is there a wedding in your future? I would love to create that special keepsake that will remind you of your day. Or, be something that can be passed down as an heirloom in the future. Perhaps a wedding cuff, ring bearer pillow, a wall sampler?

I have also ventured into combining metalwork with embroidery, something that I call dimensional cloisonné embroidery.

Special orders are always welcome….let’s talk soon about your idea!
