Hi Katie and everyone! 😊

My name is Laura, and I’m so happy to be part of this wonderful community! I’ve been passionate about machine embroidery for almost 10 years now, and it’s become such an important part of my life. 🧵💖

I got started with embroidery after retiring from teaching. I wanted a creative outlet, and my daughter gifted me my first embroidery machine. I still remember how excited I was stitching my very first design—it was a simple monogram, but it felt like magic! ✨

These days, I love working on seasonal projects like holiday-themed table runners, kitchen towels, and festive wall hangings. My absolute favorite project has to be the personalized stockings I made for my grandkids last Christmas. Their little faces lit up when they saw their names embroidered—it was such a joy!

I’m looking forward to connecting with all of you, sharing ideas, and learning new techniques. This feels like such a warm and inspiring space, and I can’t wait to see all the amazing projects everyone is working on!

Happy stitching!
— Laura
