It’s a work of ‘Heart’

As an artist, I want everything I work on to leave my hands looking as good as I can make it. To me, your gifts are all works of art – or should I say works of Heart 😉 I will spend my time looking at your project from different angles, making sure I did my best to make it as close to perfect as I can – remembering of course, only God is perfect!

Hand Stitching vs. Machine Stitching

Over the years, I’ve found that machine stitching generally doesn’t look as good as a hand sewn piece. Because of that, our pieces take longer to build. We dedicate time and attention to each and every stitch. We aren’t competing against the large manufacturing companies, churning out hundreds of identical pieces. Each one of our items is slightly different than the last.

“Handmade” has become a lost art, a word that sounds good on paper, but doesn’t make sense if you want to try and “make a living.” Well, we are doing just that. Creating one of a kind pieces, with our own bare hands. No electricity, no special software, no internet – just working as a craftsman might have worked hundreds of years ago. In the end, you’ll have something that will last many years, be something I myself either carry or would recommend, and have taken several hours to make. Once I am happy with it, I will offer the item up to God and send it your way 😉
