A Family Tradition Turned into Business
When I was a little girl I would play in my grandmother's sewing room while she worked on different projects. As I became a little bit older she would give me little tasks to complete and would teach me technique along the way. I always thought it was so fun to create pieces, even when they had no purpose, and play with the fabrics and thread.
My grandmother passed away a few years ago, but I still have the same fascination with fiber art as I did years ago in her basement. After moving to Uganda after college, I met my husband and we were married. Soon after marriage I quit my job and decided that I wanted to sell my art full time.
Each of the designs that you see from Thistle and Thread are designed by myself and stitched by Paul and I. We work hand in hand to create each piece from start to finish. You will notice that we release new designs in a collection, and each collection is created from the things currently inspiring us.
We love being able to create unique pieces for the home and the thought that a small piece of our business and heart have made its way into the lives of so many people is the motivation to keep us moving forward.
We would love to connect with you and answer any questions that you have, so please feel free to drop us a line at hello [!at] thistleandthreaddesign.com.
