Celeste stitches houseplants, flowers, animals, uplifting and important words, and some of her most beloved pieces come from her 50 states collection, where she stitches an outline of a state and fills it with colorful native plants or scenery. She loves embroidery because of the soft textures, endless subject matter, and the therapeutic and fulfilling process of working on a piece.
She stitches during her children’s nap times and into the wee hours of the night, burning through cups of coffee and her favorite Netflix series. Crafting has always been a central theme of her life, but embroidery is where Celeste has truly flourished, empowering her to share the love of the craft with everyone.
