Chainstitched narrative heirloom banners
Stitch your shared places, pets and memories into a one-off story banner
Christina Hurt Smith
Christina Hurt Smith commissions embroidered Story Banners that combine personal landscapes, homes, pets, flora and other meaningful details in a constructed wall hanging. The maker explicitly offers these narrative textiles as wedding and anniversary gifts, with wedding backdrops among the custom projects she considers.
Current location note / listed area: Martindale and San Marcos, Texas; additional locations by inquiry only
Commissioned physical artwork, not onsite entertainment: the current FAQ explicitly says she is not taking live chainstitch events and does not make custom suits. Confirm project acceptance, design scope, dimensions, materials, lead time and delivery before relying on a wedding date. Her studio is in Martindale and her biography identifies San Marcos as home. She departed Fort Lonesome in March2024; this is her distinct current solo practice, not a second listing for that former employer.
