Stitch Ups was founded in 2001 as an outlet to share my original designs of hand crafted textile and fiber products. My products range from pillows, purses, tote bags to backpacks, socks and finger-less mittens. My purses and bags are my own designs and created from custom quilted fabrics while our fiber products are created from custom hand dyed yarns.

My love of sewing and knitting started when I was young. My grandmother was seamstress specializing in hand sewing Japanese Kimonos. Through her I learned the joys of creating patterns for my own designs, and to bring them to a finished product. Later, I had the opportunity to attend a number of fabric and fiber symposiums In Salem Massachusetts and Williamsburg Virginia.
