The maker
Grew up in a small sewing shop in Kansas. Still makes everything by hand — now from a studio in northern Colorado.
From the prairie
Our roots stem from central Kansas, where Bettina learned to embroider, sew, and finish things carefully at a table that was never very big. The work was always made in small amounts — enough for the people who ordered, never so much that it sat around. Family and friends were always present, a happy place for all to enjoy.
That same approach moved with her to northern Colorado. The studio is still one person, a few machines, and only the pieces she can finish well. No large runs. No leftover inventory. Just the work that fits the season.
Northern Colorado
Bettina now works from a studio in northern Colorado. The landscape changed, but the rhythm of the work did not. Mornings still start with threads and a hoop, ornaments under the press, and boxes being packed one at a time.
Everything is finished in small batches so each piece can stay personal — whether it is a monogrammed tote, a ceramic ornament with a family design, or a gift box built around someone specific.
If you have something in mind, she will make it with you.
