Welcome to Flutterby Stitches!
Thank you for visiting my site! I love quilting, sewing, machine embroidery, hand embroidery, cross-stitch, crochet, & almost any other type of craft. Grab your favorite cozy drink, a yummy snack, & pull up a chair with me as I share things I’ve made & techniques that I’ve learned. I have a series of blog posts about my favorite cross-stitch designer, painter Paula Vaughan – if you’re also a fan of her work, be sure to check those posts. Join the conversation by leaving a comment on any blog post or send me a message.
I’ve started a Facebook group: Flutterby Stitches Crafting Circle. You can post questions there, share crafting projects you’re working on, and be inspired by others’ posts. It’s a private group, which means that only other group members can see your posts or comments – that means you can share pictures of gifts that you’re working on or ask questions without spoiling the surprise, unless the gift recipient happens to also be a member of the group. 🙂 I allow sales and promoting your business within reason, especially craft-based businesses or blogs.
If you’re interested in having your own website (human-designed, not AI-generated!) then I’d love to help you as you share your creativity or small business with the world. Please use the contact form and we’ll talk more to discuss details.
Visit my blog for projects, tutorials, & photos of things I’ve made!
See what’s keeping me busy, explore techniques that I love, and follow along as I try new crafts and projects.

Custom Sewing & Alterations
I offer custom sewing services: alterations and mending, Scouts merit badges and patches, memory bears or other animals, memory quilts, machine embroidery and digitizing, quilt labels, home decor, Christmas ornaments, and holiday decor, and more! I especially love making items for niche interests, less-common sports and hobbies, and specific decorating themes for your home, birthday party, or wedding.
