I've loved to cross stitch for more years than I can remember.
The result is a collection of pieces that are fun and easy to stitch, and let you show off your creativity in new and exciting ways. I adore the idea of combining the traditional art of cross stitch with unexpected and modern materials.
I’ve designed a line of cross stitch accessories in unconventional materials like wood, leather, and acrylic. Hello! I'm Susan Fitzgerald, the stitcher behind Red Gate Stitchery, and here's my story.
