Pip Stitches

Pip Stitches is the embroidery art of Katie Pippel — a maker with a gift for turning stories, memories, and deeply personal moments into beautifully stitched works of thread and color! Working with simple, tactile materials — cotton thread, beech wood hoops, and vibrant fabrics — she creates pieces that range from the illustrative to the abstract, rendering everything from architecture and children's drawings to the nuanced landscapes of chronic illness and healing. Her work is intimate, meaningful, and made with genuine heart.Deeply inspired by Impressionism, Pip Stitches embraces the interplay of light, atmosphere, and bold color over strict realism — much like the artists who once shook up the art world by following feeling over formula. Katie brings that same spirit of courage and creativity to her needle and thread, championing embroidery not just as craft, but as fine art. Whether she's accepting commissions, exhibiting her work, or teaching classes, Pip Stitches is a warm and welcoming space where stitching meets storytelling — one hoop at a time!
