One my favorite parts of the Creator Summit at ? The conversations! The connections. I have as many photos of me in deep conversations as I do snaps and poses and I love it!

Getting to connect with so many incredible makers and creative business owners, hearing about your new projects, discovering innovative products, and sharing real talk about what’s next in our industry —it was inspiring.

So much of what we do happens in solitude—creating, planning, building behind the scenes. That’s why these in-person moments with our community are so impactful. The conversations we have here? They matter!

They’re not just updates or ideas—they’re real connections. They remind us that we’re part of something bigger. They spark new possibilities, deepen our understanding, and directly shape how we grow, build, and serve this community we love.

Thank you to everyone who shared their ideas, updates, and energy. Let’s keep the conversations going. 💡🧶

Stitch Up Chicago 2025 is wrapped! The pics from are in and it’s quite clear: a TIME was had!!!

While this event is my idea and my heart, it’s certainly not “mine”. It’s for this incredible community of fiber arts enthusiasts coming together.

and I certainly don’t do it alone. I am supported by an incredible team of human beings all around me. The people in these photos really helped make the magic happen and this event is that much better because of each of them. I look at these photos and I see joy and it makes my heart smile. And continuing to partner with our host yarn shop each year and all those who come together to make this event what it is makes the difference.

Our hosts were exceptional this year, our Indie Dyers were vibrant and creative and inspiring and helped create an environment for creativity!

This was our biggest event yet, and it’s sold out the fastest and it was just a joy. My heart is so full 💜
