Meet the Maker
Welcome! I'm Marian, the heart and hands behind this little stitching adventure. I live in beautiful Maryland with my two amazing kids and work full-time in education. After a long day at school, sewing is my creative outlet and a way to recharge—it brings me peace, joy, and a sense of accomplishment.
With over 30 years of needlework experience, I’ve recently turned my lifelong hobby into a small business. I absolutely love every step of the process—from planning and stitching to personalizing and creating meaningful, lasting keepsakes.
In addition to hand-stitched embroidery pieces, I also create custom bags, adorable dog bandanas, and other machine-stitched items. Whether you're looking for a unique gift or something special just for you, I’m happy to help bring your vision to life.
Each embroidery piece is stitched by hand and completely unique. Even when using the same pattern, every creation is customizable and one-of-a-kind. I use high-quality Aida cloth or Kona Cotton with DMC floss, and I’m happy to accommodate special fabric or notion requests—just check the item description or reach out!
I’d love to hear from you! Feel free to message me with questions, feedback, or to chat about a custom order.
Thank you for visiting!
Marian
How it’s Made
All of my pieces are hand stitched and unique. While some pieces may use the same pattern, they are completely customizable, and due to the hand stitched nature of embroidery, no two pieces are the same. Each piece is stitched on high quality Aida cloth or Kona Cotton using DMC floss.
Once I receive the details of your recipients to be stitched (skin/hair color, text), I will draft a digital copy of the stitch within 2-3 days and email it to you using your address on file with GoImagine for you to approve. If you wish to make any changes to the design, we can communicate and make changes until the design is perfect! Once I get your approval, I will stitch your item and mail it your way! Based on order volume and the nature of hand stitching, processing time may take up to 4 weeks.
