Alexa Lett - artsy designs Stichy, vintage, handmade goodness! Vintage and handmade has always been a part of my creativity and gift giving. Many forms of art have evolved over the years.

A book entitled “Homemade” was quite successful and led to many creative segments on various HGTV and TLC television shows and teaching workshops over the years. But, motherhood began to take more time and a different creative focus began. A passion for ‘all things stitched’ became the art form of choice for many reasons. Years of supporting an athletic daughter led to hours sitting on a bleacher.

This time became the foundation of learning the art of stitching. The need to be creative had to become mobile for me, so this medium was perfect. Plus, a giddy zeal for vintage fabrics collected over the years provided enough supply to last a lifetime. Now, the nest is empty and my little bird is off in college and I have rented an art studio in a wonderful creative community. Now I am back to ALL things creative. I work in mixed media, jewelry, art, stitchery and anything I can put my hands on. I have been asked to teach classes and participate in shows everywhere. The creative world for me is blossoming….I love it.

Needlepoint Gift
I’m deep into this little project. A gift for a friend. I have to get at it! Eeeek. Needlepoint is not a quick sport. I’ve resorted to taking this with me everywhere…..I might have to wait a minute or two at a traffic light or in the McDonald’s line. Every stitch counts!

Stitched Quote
Just a little quote hitting the vintage quilt. No man has a good enough memory to be a successful liar. ❤️🧵

This little art quilt started as a vintage quilt fragment and ended up serving truth with a side of humor. Hand-stitched wool letters, a perfectly imperfect patchwork background, and a quote that feels especially relevant in today’s world. I still need to edge it in some way…..but forthcoming.

I love transforming forgotten quilts into one-of-a-kind fiber art pieces that blend wit, nostalgia, and handmade imperfection. This art quilt is a reminder that honesty is easier than keeping track of your stories.

Signs of a Stitcher!
🧵🪡 If you’re a needleworker, quilter, embroiderer, cross-stitcher, or needlepointer, you’ll understand this phenomenon…

You finish a project.

You clean up.

You put everything away.

And then somehow…

Three weeks later there’s a needle in the sofa, a strand of floss in the rug, thread hanging from a lampshade, and a mysterious piece of embroidery floss appearing in a room you’ve never stitched in. 😂

Scientists may never solve the mystery, but fiber artists already know the truth: once you start stitching, your entire house becomes part of the project.

Tell me I’m not the only one finding random threads in the furniture, carpet, laundry, and occasionally attached to the dog. 🐕🧵
