About
Needlepoint has served as a matrilineal leyline in my family for over a century—a thread connecting us through life's roses and thorns.
In June 2015, I set out to reimagine this ancient practice for the modern stitcher. To spark creativity, champion slow production, and offer a tactile way to unwind. Drawing from folklore and the natural world, my story-led designs map the rabbit holes of my curiosity.
As you stitch, I invite you to embrace both your thorns—moments of growth and resilience—and your roses—moments of beauty and joy. Change the colors, add unexpected textures, and stitch special personal details, song lyrics, or the coordinates of your favorite lighthouse.
I hope my designs guide you in transforming your in-between moments into tangible textiles infused with your personal legends and living memories.
THE ARTIST
Brooke is a multi-disciplinary artist, creative advisor, and aspiring novelist. Her nomadic upbringing taught her that metamorphosis leaves gold dust behind. Her boundless curiosity does the rest.
She lives on Vancouver Island with her husband and their Duck Toller, Goose. When she’s not designing needlepoint, she’s likely plotting her first [fictional] art-heist, foraging for inspiration in the wild, or sending it on the climbing wall.
