Meet the Maker Behind the Stitches

Hi, I’m Christina—the owner, maker and careful hands behind Thread Works by Christina - Embroidery & Keepsakes.

For years, I dreamed of building a life around fibre arts. After being diagnosed with a rare form of breast cancer, my outlook changed. The experience left me with lifelong complications, but it also gave me a deeper appreciation for time—and the courage to pursue work that felt meaningful.

After nearly 18 years in the corporate world, I traded meetings for making and turned that long-held dream into a home-based embroidery studio. Today, I serve customers in Saint John and across Canada, creating personalized apparel for individuals, businesses, schools and community organizations, along with keepsake bears and pillows made from treasured clothing.

Whether I’m helping you celebrate a milestone, represent your organization or preserve the memory of someone special, every piece is made with care and created to be worn, used and cherished. Thank you for supporting my small business—I’d be honoured to create something meaningful for you.
