Meet the Maker ~ Budgiegoods
The idea for budgiegoods began with the firm conviction that it was time to bring needlework into the 21st century! Way back in 2011, the founder set out to create modern, simple needlework kits that would encourage people who had never stitched before to pick up a needle and floss and create something beautiful. Whether you're an experienced stitcher or just getting started, budgiegoods has something for you.
