About Us

MarianMade Shop was born from a family tradition of cross stitch, met with a new generation, a healthy sense of humor and a love for all things handmade and crafty.

We love custom orders and whatever you’ve got to put into cross stitch, we can make happen. A big accomplishment? Birth? Wedding? Sarcastic housewarming gift? Inside joke with your bestie? Nerdy science-fi references? We got you, babe.

All of our projects are lovingly handmade in Illinois, and we rock our hometown pride from time to time with original designs centered around what’s best about our community. You can catch a limited and rotating selection of these projects IRL at Rockford Art Deli, in the heart of downtown Rockford.

We partner with Rockford-grown artist for help in making sure all of our concepts come to life in the best way possible. He’s the one who knows how best to use white space. And what kerning is. And stuff like that. With his help, a reference to “icicles” won’t accidentally read “testicles” in the wrong font. Unless, of course, you want it to.

We love what we do and we hope you will, too!

love, love, love,

The MMS Team
