Hi, I'm Debbie Hodge, the founder of Stitched Stories...
And I know the desire to create. I know what it is to have crafty aspirations.
When I decided to try hand embroidery, I could not find the kind of kits that I wanted to stitch.
- Cross stitch felt too controlled.
- Intricate “thread painting” looked like too much work.
- Simple (and gorgeous) designs wouldn’t be enough work.
I was like Goldilocks—it was all either too much or not enough.
I wanted embroidery kit designs:
- that were more fun than they were complex
- that presented a variety of stitches rather than just a few gorgeous ones
- that offered a project with several areas to stitch, with modern motifs–and even storylines
And that’s how the Stitched Stories was born.
Our kits are built on classic hand embroidery stitches, and we’ve been thrilled to see over 4000 new and experienced stitchers embrace our embroidery kits during our first year in business.
