Great quality - both the towel plus the embroidery itself. The attention to detail is wonderful - lines are clean with no stray threads or excess. Even the back is well-finished. The seller responded quickly when I asked for a custom color and was so easy to work with - I am very pleased with the purchase.

Great quality but took almost a month to receive. Will continue to order but hopefully processing and shipping is more timely.

Handmade by Friend & Thread (formerly Bat Shack)

Handmade with heart by Tina. Inspired by my Ma‑Maw and mom, every stitch carries their love and legacy. Welcome to Friend & Thread!

🌸 A New Chapter for My Little Handmade World 🌸

Some of you have been with me since the Bat Shack Designs days, and I’m so grateful for every bit of love and support you’ve shown along the way. Today, I’m excited to share something that’s been growing in my heart for a long time — a shift that feels like coming home.

✨ Bat Shack Designs is becoming… Friend & Thread. ✨

This new name reflects who I am, where I come from, and the legacy that shaped me. I learned to sew from two incredible women: my Ma‑Maw and my mom. Their hands guided mine, their patience taught me, and their love stitched itself into everything I create.

Friend & Thread honors that legacy — the friendship, the family, the stories, and the threads that connect us through generations.

My new logo, beautifully crafted by Bat Shack Designs, captures that spirit perfectly: soft, floral, handmade, and stitched with care… just like the pieces I pour my heart into.

Thank you for growing with me, believing in me, and being part of this journey. I can’t wait to share what’s coming next under Friend & Thread — a name that finally feels like me.

🧵💗 Stitched with care, always.

T. Friend, Creator

In the fall of 2014, I was doing embroidery projects for friends & family. As I started designing customized rag quilts, it seemed like a good time to take a giant leap and try Etsy. I love to see the ideas that turn to custom orders for the shop.
