  • STiTCHED ON MY HEART

    Oh the techniques... altering books, collaging, painting, stitching, enameling, antiquing and learning a variety of ways to age paper & fabric. These cherished books will have vintage soul & grace a shelf in your home as a beautiful reminder of moments long remembered.

    Our Scrap-Books will be filled with the many collected fibers, fabric scraps, buttons, photos & bits of ephemera. With needle & thread we will build a book that serves as a record of the people, places & memories we hold close to our hearts.

    Gather your favorite vintage trinkets, grandma’s buttons, bits of fabric, lace & trim, old photos & mini mementos. Bookmaking has captured my imagination & I can’t wait to share this creative process with you!! XO, April
