Welcome to 16 Stones Embroidery

Hi, I'm Barbara, and I'm so glad you're here.

I've always loved working with things that can become tradition: pieces that carry a story and help create memories. A monogrammed napkin set out for a holiday dinner. A sweatshirt with a verse that gets someone through a hard week. A little ornament that comes out of the box every Christmas and brings a smile all over again.

That's what 16 Stones Embroidery is all about. Beautiful threads, edifying messages, and small things made with great love are my way of adding some good to the world. Along with acts of kindness, of course!

Here on the blog, I'll share new designs, the stories behind them, ideas for gifts and gatherings, and news about upcoming fundraisers. That includes a special one close to my heart, supporting children in pediatric complex care. If you'd like to be the first to hear about it, join the newsletter on my homepage.

We need more good in the world. Thank you for being part of spreading a little more of it with me.

With love,
Barbara
