I am Catia, the heart and soul behind all things Hello Hoop. 

A textile enthusiast, who found in embroidery the most rewarding feeling of them all. Currently obsessed with stitched portraiture.

I work from my home studio in Northern Virginia, right beside a beautiful, wooded area with over 40 miles of walking trails where, in my daily walks, I often meet enchanted creatures, the inspiration for most of my designs.

I hope you will find here something to inspire you to slow down and pick up needle and thread to start your own embroidery journey.

Thanks for visiting!
