Hey y’all! My name is Ann Gray Hardy and I am so happy that you have found stitchfête! 

When I married my biggest supporter and the love of my life, William, in 2023, I wanted to find ways to incorporate my own artistry into the wedding. Born and raised in the Mississippi Delta, southern embroidery was a way of life and I took on the task of personally hand embroidering custom designs for my bridal party, my family and new family, and William and myself. I had such a wonderful time throughout the process that I decided to branch out on my own and use my degree in Graphic Design and five years of experience in the custom apparel to found stitchfête. 

My dream was to create custom designs for friends and family to celebrate all of the big and little moments in their lives. What started as a fun creative project in my loft in Birmingham, AL soon turned into so much more though - and we’ve only just begun! I am in awe of how much love & support my work has received since opening shop. 

“Fête” means celebration in French and it is my mission to create custom embroidery for all of the celebrations in your life, no matter how big or small. I am truly honored by everyone that trusts me to take part in the special moments of their lives by creating unique details. It is my goal with every design that you have a physical manifestation of memories that will last forever!
