Hanging by a Thread started as an art-leasing company designed to serve the greater Charlotte area. My original intention was to showcase my mother’s lifetime of work dedicated to developing the fiber arts. Today, I make and sell one-of-a-kind art hangings, many of which reflect an international flavor or nature theme. Purses, totes and carry-on bags have also found their way into my portfolio.

I take special orders, often for events such as weddings and baby showers because they are, well, special. These pieces become family heirlooms when you provide the special touches. I incorporate family treasures like buttons from grandma’s baptism gown, lace from mom’s wedding dress, or a vintage handkerchief into small wall hangings. Each piece is uniquely embellished and embroidered with your name and dates to reflect your special occasion.

My pieces are carried at the Museum of York County Museum Store and BacInTyme coffee and cafe shop in Fort Mill.

A portion of proceeds from sales benefits the Interfaith Hospitality Network.
