Hand Embroidery: A Modern Take on a Timeless Art

About Me
I (Erin) am wrenbirdarts. When I started embroidering, I loved the look of a vintage hankie, but couldn't get behind the dated styles. So, I made my own patterns, and opened an Etsy shop. In 2012! And since then, I have sold more than 15,000 hankies, and counting.

A few years ago, unable to source high quality hankies for embroidering, I opted to re-focus my business on offering a quality product. I make all of the hankies sold in my shop from secondhand or remnant fabric. I still offer custom embroidery services by special request, just send me a message.

You will find embroidery and mending kits here as well. They feature water soluble transfers, created by me, and include my favorite tools used for hand stitching.

I grew up in the Midwest, in Iowa and Nebraska, and went to school with the dream of being a psychologist or a social worker. After finishing my master's degree, I realized maybe it wasn't for me. So, while I figured out a new plan for my life, I started embroidering. I had always been an avid crafter, and had a creative mind. After learning how to embroider, I knew I was in love and scrapped all previous work, and started a business selling my original designs through Etsy and local boutiques. My nickname (wren bird) became the name for her business, thus wrenbirdarts was hatched.

My work has appeared in SeattleMet, Parade, and Glamour Magazines. You may have also seen my hankies on Buzzfeed, Huffington Post, Huffpost Weddings. I've also been fortunate to have been featured on numerous blogs and listicles.

I am currently living in Bellingham, Washington, and am enjoying small town life for a change.
