✨About Otter Needlepoint

For most of my life, I've been a teacher, a mother, and now a grandmother—roles that have shaped how I see the world and, ultimately, how I design. My days have always been filled with creativity, patience, and finding joy in the little things, and needlepoint has become a natural extension of that.

Otter Needlepoint began when I couldn't find a design I was dreaming of (an otter, of course!) and decided to create it myself. What started as one canvas quickly grew into a collection inspired by the moments and places I love most.

My designs are meant to be fun, colorful, and full of personality—reflecting the joy of everyday life, the memories made through travel, and the beauty of Midwest coastal living. From lake-inspired palettes to playful, meaningful motifs, each canvas is created to bring a sense of happiness to your stitching.

Whether you're new to needlepoint or have been stitching for years, I hope that these designs feel approachable, uplifting, and a little bit special.

At its heart, Otter Needlepoint is about slowing down, creating something by hand, and finding joy—one stitch at a time.
