Let’s Learn and Get Creative With Embroidery!

Hi! I’m Amanda, the blogger and artist behind this website and all of it’s tutorials. I learned embroidery and basic fiber art skills from my grandmother when I was a child. I picked it back up while I was in college when I was in desperate need of a creative outlet to relieve stress.

As someone who’s always been a hands-on person, creating things felt incredibly freeing and fulfilling. Embroidery became a daily habit, and eventually blossomed into what I do full-time.

This website was born out of a longing to share the skills I have learned over the past 15 years and to make creativity accessible, joyful, and fulfilling.

I believe creativity is essential to our wellbeing, and that everyone has the power to create something beautiful. In today’s fast-paced, digital world, embroidery offers an opportunity to slow down and reconnect with the simple, tactile joy of making something with your own hands. These thoughtfully crafted, easy to follow embroidery patterns and tutorials will inspire creativity, comfort, and a sense of wonder in people of all skill levels.

My designs are inspired by the quiet beauty of nature—the small, often overlooked moments like the gentle rustle of leaves or the soft glow of morning light. These moments carry a sense of calm and simplicity, and through my work, I aim to bring that same feeling to you.

At the heart of my brand is a love for tradition and the stories held by old things. Embroidery is a timeless craft, passed down through generations, and I’m proud to carry that legacy forward. My patterns blend whimsical designs with an appreciation for the past, allowing you to create something that feels personal, yet connected to a larger history. Each stitch not only adds to your project but also becomes part of your own creative journey, with the potential to be passed down through time!

You’ll find a variety of different embroidery styles and techniques on the blog. I like to try a little bit of everything, but my favorite style of embroidery (and what I’m most skilled in) is thread painting.

Inspirations

I draw inspiration from the simple pleasures of life—long walks surrounded by plants and flowers, the charm and excitement of finding beautiful antique postcards, my love for animals, and the timeless beauty found in old embroidery books discovered in thrift shops. These little treasures fuel my creativity and shape my work.

I’ve been lucky enough to be featured in several magazines and online publications for my work including Country Living, Pop Sugar, and more. You can check out some of them here!
