Our Story

Patchies™ began as a thread that started with my mom.

My mom had a small business where she created patchwork pets—soft, handmade pieces full of personality and heart. Those patchwork creations became more than something cute. They became a kind of comfort. A reminder that love can be made by hand, and that the smallest pieces can become something beautiful when they’re stitched together.

Somehow, patchwork became a quiet theme in our family—through my mom, through me, and through my daughter.

And then life changed.

After losing my mom, and later losing my daughter, I learned what it feels like to live with a heart that isn’t just hurting… but feels like it’s been torn into pieces.

I didn’t want healing that felt cold or clinical.

I needed something gentle. Something safe.

Something that could sit beside grief without trying to “fix” it.

I needed something that could help me stitch my heart back together—slowly, softly, one small stitch at a time.

That’s where Patchies™ came from.

Patchies is a patchwork world of stories and healing tools—made for children with big feelings, for parents doing their best, and for families learning how to carry love and loss side by side.

Because even when someone is gone, love remains.

And sometimes… healing starts with a single stitch.
