About

 

Hi! I'm Kate, owner and designer of Ivy Thread Needlepoint. I live in Florida with my sweet (and sometimes crazy) golden retriever. I work in strategy for my 9-5, but love having my little shop as a creative outlet!

I started needlepointing around 3 years ago, but have only recently started selling my designs. I've always loved making things and would say I'm a serial hobbyist. I love baking, making custom decorated cakes and cookies, calligraphy, and of course needlepoint. 

In April 2023 I went to see the Eras Tour and wow was it the most magical ever, so a few months later I wanted to make something to commemorate the occasion. I decided to drag my blank needlepoint canvas out of the closet that had been collecting dust, try a software to put a design together, and try my hand at painting. I showed my family and they loved it so much that they thought I could try selling it on Etsy.

My designs are really just inspired by things I love. Every design I make is something I'd like to stitch, so I hope you'll love them too!
