Meet the Maker
I'm Amber, the human behind the hoop. Most evenings you'll find me on the couch with a needle and thread, stitching something weird, whimsical, or inspired by my life in New England.
After trading the Colorado mountains for coastal Massachusetts, I've created Hooplethreads as a place to share hand embroidery patterns and gifts from a midlife maker, a GenXer, raised on television, with a love of the analog in a digital world.
