My name is Hannah Lewis, and I’m the owner and designer behind Heretic Designs, where I create fun, empowering, and one-of-a-kind cross stitch patterns. I first learned to cross stitch in elementary school when my mom taught me, and I was instantly hooked. Although I’ve loved stitching for as long as I can remember, I didn’t begin designing my own patterns until a few years ago, when I decided to turn my passion into something I could share with others.
What I love most about this work is the community it’s helped me build. Designing has connected me with incredible artists and makers who share a love for this unique, time-honored craft, and those relationships have become truly invaluable to me.
I love fiber arts of all kinds - I also crochet, knit, quilt, needlepoint, embroider, and sew. Outside of these, I enjoy baking, traveling, reading, and spending time in the mountains of my home state of Colorado, where I’ve lived my entire life.
I’m so excited to share my designs with you, and I hope you enjoy stitching them as much as I enjoy creating them.
