Hearts & Crafts
This heart celebrates the joy of making and the unity found in crafting. Featuring vibrant patterns of sewing, crochet, embroidery, and other craft tools, each side blooms with handmade charm, the state flowers of Kansas and Missouri under the same blue sky. The design honors the hands that stitch, glue, cut, and create—reminding us that crafting connects hearts, one thread at a time.

Artist Spotlight
Leah Dwyer
I was born and raised in St. Louis, Missouri, and have called Kansas City home for the past two years. While I have a degree in Animation and have years of experience in painting, I consider myself first and foremost a crafter, focusing on crochet, sewing, and other DIY projects that allow me to explore creativity in a hands-on way. Inspired by the work of fellow fiber artists, I pursue projects that bring me joy and ignite my passion for creating.
