“You Brighten My Day” Stitched Besties Card

I stitched this one while sitting on the deck of my sailboat, watching the sun hit the water and thinking about the rare, solid gold friendships that survive the decades. You know the ones—the friends who knew you when you had bad hair in the 80s and still pick up the phone today.

These three ladies in their retro suits represent that “ride or die” energy. I’ve accented them with bright metallic butterflies and hand-applied rhinestones to give it that extra bit of sparkle. Whether your bestie is across the country or living the nomad life like me, this card is a tactile way to say they’re the bright spot in your day. It’s handmade, hand-sewn, and sent with a little bit of salt air and road dust.
