Hi, I’m Molly — the hands, heart, and hustle behind Applique & Embroidery Originals.

I’ve been stitching and creating since 2007, building a business one monogram, one applique, and one happy customer at a time. What started as a love for sewing quickly turned into a full-fledged creative studio where I bring your ideas to life with fabric, thread, and a whole lot of personality.

I’m a wife, a mom of two, and a believer that handmade matters. Whether it’s a perfectly stitched name on a nap mat or a playful boutique-style tee for your little one, I put care and detail into every piece I create. To me, this isn’t just about cute clothes or trendy designs — it’s about crafting something meaningful, something that lasts.

With over 18 years in the embroidery and applique world, I’ve developed a deep appreciation for high-quality craftsmanship, thoughtful design, and the joy of custom work. I love blending classic styles with fresh, fun ideas — the kind of designs that make people smile and ask, “Where did you get that?”

My love of stitching and that final beautiful product for friends, family and customers is what led me to open Applique & Embroidery Originals in 2017. I wanted to take my passion one step further to become the creator of original applique designs, made for fellow stitchers who want designs that are beautiful, versatile, detailed and friendly. These downloadable designs for your own embroidery machines, have been tested, tweaked, and stitched with intention to make sure you get the very best.

At Applique & Embroidery Originals, I don’t just create designs — I build connections. With my customers. With my community. With every design and font I send out into the world.

Thanks for stopping by. I’m so glad you’re here.

— Molly
