Holiday Time!

From my home in California, with the Pacific Ocean near by, I turn childhood memories of nature, place, and family into embroidered designs that bring warmth and character to your home.

I hope you enjoy them as much as I love making them.

Holiday Collection

Our family is from Germany, and Mom brought European holiday style into our home. Each winter, the lights and traditions take me back to family gatherings, warmth, welcome, and anticipation.

Lake Collection

On a summer afternoon, watching fish move through the lake brought back childhood days by the water. I stitched that quiet, playful feeling into this design.

Cape Collection

One day a whale’s distant spout brought back youthful visits to the coast. I remember watching the horizon, feeling small, curious, and close to nature.

Woodside Collection

Mom and I spent afternoons in the garden, where every leaf and harvest feels like a discovery; those experiences inspire this vegetable series for everyday living.

Carmel Collection

Walking beside the shore, my Mom and I would gather tide-worn seashells. Their delicate forms inspired a relaxed design that brings coastal calm home.

Tahoe Collection

I've spent many seasons in the Sierra's with my family. I remembered childhood moments beneath tall trees. Their elegant branches inspired embroidery that brings that majesty to your home.
