I first introduced a monthly Pattern Program in 2016 as a CSA (Community Supported Art) model inspired by community supported agriculture programs. Offering my work as DIY digital patterns allows me to share my passion for embroidery, my designs, and my techniques at an incredibly accessible price point and in a way that is not limited one to one with my labor. This model offers me financial security and stability throughout the year, allowing me more time and resources to continue my artistic development.

This model offers you the opportunity to both invest in the arts and invest in your own creative well being. Treating yourself to a calm and beautiful embroidery project each month is a gift that will keep on giving—granting you a meditative pastime while you create artwork for your home or as gifts.

I am expanding the Pattern Program offering this year to include Zoom meet ups because I believe the only thing better than quietly stitching on my own, is stitching in community. I hope you’ll join me for this journey.
