Hi, I’m Renate Speet.

I’ve been embroidering since I was a kid, learning by watching my mom—like many of us probably did.

Over the years, what started with simple cross-stitch has grown into a love for a wide range of surface embroidery techniques.

I’m not much of a writer (that’s where ChatGPT helps me out), so instead of telling long stories with words, I try to tell them with photos and thread.

This site is my visual diary—one stitch, one project at a time.
