Our Story


Hi, I'm Kelly! I love Nordic skiing, podcasts, searching for sea glass on the coast of Maine, and needlepoint. I work part-time in Public Health at the community level here in Vermont; it's the perfect balance to entrepreneurship! My fiancé and I have an active life with our Vizsla pup, Juno.
 
I began stitching in 2018 after drooling over canvases for too long when a crafty auntie gifted me her fiber stash. Shortly thereafter, I bought my first canvas at In Stitches in Dorset, Vermont and Maria Timmerman, the owner, taught me how to stitch. I immediately wanted to paint a canvas and did so a few months later.
 

What's in a name? Alice was my grandmother's best friend who was "Auntie Alice" to my mom. My middle name comes from her. She needlepointed and cross-stitched. My mom recently gave me a rusty tin of in-progress embroidery that belonged to her and I played around with when I was little. Vintage! Blue was my trail name on the Appalachian Trail in 2012. I think of Blue as my adventurous, free-spirited alter ego/other half. The combination of the two felt fitting.
