An eclectic mix of fiber art inspired by a love of words, delicate details, pop culture, and activism.

Clashes the high and the low together by blending the beautiful and the irreverent. The art and the brand are political & platform progressive policies.

I’m still so furious. My feed has been filled with assault survivors sharing their stories. So many with similarities to the Cornell 57. So many that went unpunished, even with victims following every step to report them. So many where the rapist’s future was considered with more importance more than the victim. I hope Jane Doe finally gets justice. I hope every woman whose story came across my feed finds justice, and if not that, some inkling of peace.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year.
🎃🍁
As the days have gotten shorter, the air crisper, and the colors start to settle in, I have also slowed down. With the recent changes, creating has returned to something a bit more meditative and experimental. It has been nice to move with the natural seasonal shift. Took some time to finally finish this skull sketch I had drawn out years ago in thread.
💀🍂
The timing of the change is fortunate as, outside of stitching, life has been a difficult lately. An amalgamation of reasons that have weighed on my chest. Add in the current events that have never felt so heavy and I spend most days wondering what will break first: me or the world… and I know this is not a unique feeling. I don’t scuba, but I’m stuck on this metaphor that we are all deep underwater and being forced to surface faster than we can physically stomach. Add in the amalgamation of unexpected extras: oxygen running low, bitten by an animal, etc. It all keeps compounding.
✨👻
I’ll end on a note of appreciation for all of the artists, creatives, activists, and humans (not slop) continuing to make beautiful and challenging art in our current times. I am so often inspired to continue my own pursuits because my cup is repeatedly filled from witnessing artistic passion and intellect so astounding it could be an offering to Apollo himself. In my suffering from The Bends of life, the work is my hyperbaric chamber. So, thank you, artists of the age. There is no compensation worthy enough for your labors keeping our souls alive.

This month will be the last month my shop will be open in Red Hive Market. As much as I love being there, my sales have slowed and I needed to make a tough decision. If things are looking differently in the future, I would cherish the opportunity to be a part of the space again.
I’m using this decision as a pivot point for SageStitchCo as a whole. As much as I have loved making so many goodies for folks through the years, a lot of the growth I have had has been unsustainable for one person to manage. The larger art pieces and projects I always cherished making have been on a back burner for years now. This is going to be a time when SageStitchCo slows down, and I reorient myself as an artist as well as a stitcher.
It’s not farewell! My online shop will still be open. I intend to remain involved in the local community. Hopefully have more time for wishlist initiatives I have wanted to get started for years.
I appreciate all the support and love you’ve shared with me over the years supporting this micro-business. My last day working in the shop will be the morning of Aug 25th. If you’re free, stop in and say hello!
It’s a new phase, the next book in an ongoing series, and I hope you stick around to see what’s next.

Saw Spider-Man: Brand New Day for the second time this weekend and I loved it even more than the first time.
It’s funny, you can stitch so much over so many years you can forget things you’ve made. It hit me as the credits rolled that I had stitched Spider-Man (in 2021), back when I did a bunch of black line style homages to different Marvel characters and hand drawn comic art.
This was Spidey in a 4” hoop.

It is World Embroidery Day today, and I would be remiss if I did not pause to express gratitude and love for this beautiful art form. It’s through needle and thread I feel connected to humanity. Countless generations across different cultures have used embroidery to express themselves, document histories, and find community. I feel honored to be an incredibly small link on an ever winding chain of legacy. One that has connected me with so many wonderful people through the years, the most surprising one being myself. I don’t think I would be where I am in life, mentally or physically, if it was not for the joy I have found in stitching. There is something so grounding about participating in an art so ancient and experiencing all the ways it remains more relevant than ever. I have learned countless lessons about patience, practice, adaptability, slowing down, and having faith in myself and my abilities (as a stitcher and as a human being) along the way.
Embroidery, I love you.

The best art inspires more art and creation.
One of the many reasons I love is the creativity and costuming she inspires with . You’re surrounded every show by the most gorgeous people with completely unique looks, and yet each one looks like it belongs there. For the second stop I was able to attend, I decided to bring my best as a hand embroideress with some custom stitching. Though I couldn’t include every single lyric/moment I loved from Everybody Scream, I did fit a few of my favorites alongside the album iconography. Harder to photograph than I thought it would be, as the design is all about how it moves with me when I dance, but here are my attempts.
✨🪡🪄
“EVERYBODY SCREAM”
“Well, do you see me now?”
“Aching, aching, aching and alive”
“Peace is coming”
✨🪡🪄
Thank you, once again, F+tM for the simultaneous ritual/exorcism/dance party/worship/cleansing/sympathy magic.
Till next time!

Brought back an old favorite with a new twist this month. Experimented a bit earlier this year mixing fabric paint and thread for a different kind of dimension. This, and some other fresh pieces (including hats!), are out at Red Hive! 🐝🪡 More on the way!
