About

Welcome to Hip Threads Embroidery! While that name may seem like an acknowledgement of how cool I think I am (not very), it actually stems from how I got into embroidery. In 2018, I had surgery on both my hips. While I was recovering, I wasn't able to do many of the things I loved like running, hiking, yoga, or even going for a walk around the neighborhood. Since I was confined mostly to my couch, I picked up an old cross stitch project I had been working on for about four years at that point. After I finished it, I felt burned out on cross stitch, so I decided to try my hand at embroidery. What started out as a way to pass time during my recovery has turned into a hobby that I really enjoy, and I am excited for the chance to share my art with others. 

In 2020, I was accepted into the Society for Embroidered Work, which aims to elevate embroidery as a recognized art form.
