Pssst...
did you know your embroidery
machine can do more than just embroidery? Our designs
have features that go beyond the basics, the complete
project within the hoop! Way too fun!
Life is not measured
by the number of
breaths we take,
but by the moments
that take our
breath away!
In
Memory of
Our Mom
1933 - 1998
She taught us to laugh and enjoy
life with each other, the good and the bad. To never be afraid to
dream and try something new, cause
"Can't never did nothin!"
Wish you were
here to play dolls with us, mom!
We
have combined our creativity and lifelong passion for sewing/embroidery. In
June of 2003 our embroidery design company, Sisters In Stitches, was
born.
Yes, we are sisters and are always
in-stitches in more ways than one. Having spent the last 30+ years
raising our families and sharing our love of sewing long distance, there has
always been a dream. To live closer to each other and take our sewing ideas
to a higher level. That time has finally arrived!
Our
company goal is to expand the world of embroidery by creating complete
sewing patterns within the designs, revisiting vintage projects using
today’s technology and produce other designs and crafts that are “not quite
traditional”. With the tools and technology of today, mixed with
imagination, the possibilities are endless. Check back regularly to our
website to see what we are up to.
Share in our dream and enjoy this simplified journey
to embroidery doll clothes and ageless crafts.

I moved from Montana to the Oregon
beach in 2003. What a change! I love it!
While raising my four children these past 25 years, I found many outlets for
my sewing, quilting and crafting abilities. The kid’s designer clothes were “designed”
by mom. My two daughters
spent
I live near Portland, Oregon and have
worked in the sewing and embroidery industry for the past 18 years in various
capacities. For 12+ years, I was a freelance educator
for a top brand sewing machine company, traveling nationally - teaching
seminars, working trade shows, writing articles and creating projects
many hours just hanging
out with me watching me sew. My love of sewing and creating continues
through them.
Costume designing for the “New Life Players Theatre Company” and other
local theatre groups was both challenging and rewarding, it was a lot of
fun. Proms, weddings and alterations for private clients kept me connected
to my sewing machine when I wasn't "working" at my real job.
Teaching classes for children, young moms and grandmothers has been my
personal favorite way of sharing my sewing passion with others.
for company
publications.
Growing up, there
was always a sewing machine in the living room. And my mom telling me that
anything is possible, the instructions and patterns are only guidelines.
(Thanks, mom!) That legacy is being passed down to my daughter, who
grew up teething on bobbins. The sewing studio rule is “If I am the
designer and I like it – Its Right!” Being able to work in an industry that
is your passion is a gift. Now that gift is greater because I now can share
it with my sister Anne.
One more thing about us
--- we both like the color purple!
