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.

Take a closer look at our embroidery kits… 

Each kit comes complete with:

  • 8″ Bamboo embroidery hoop (unstained/natural)
  • Cotton fabric with design pre-printed in color
  • 6+ full skeins of coordinated DMC Embroidery Floss
  • 2 embroidery needles
  • 5.5″ tin for organizing your supplies
  • Easy-to-follow illustrated instructions

Every Stitched Stories kit includes a variety of stitches and motifs.

There are small scenes you can complete in a sitting, all of them coming together in the finished project. Immerse yourself in the imagery, color, and classic embroidery stitches. Recall your life’s past stories and consider the new ones possible.

Handy little kits. I love how everything I need to make the project comes in a tidy kit! Easy to take anywhere, anytime. Clear and illustrated directions make a beginner like me feel confident and successful. And the cute little needle minder they throw sure helps me keep track of it

I love that these kits come neatly packaged with all the supplies needed. The directions are easy to follow and it makes a great project for any level of stitcher. I like to take one with me in the car for waiting on kids.
