Besides items in stock, pre and special orders are also accepted and customizations can be accommodated. We look forward to sharing our stitched with love items with you.

My story began over 40 years ago when I would watch my grandmother crochet items for herself and those she loved. Beautiful afghans, doilies around her home, and baby layettes were just some of the fantastic pieces she made. She taught me how to crochet when I was about ten years old. I was always amazed (and jealous) at how she could create designs in her head while I had to depend on written patterns. I didn't do much with the skill of crocheting as I became a teen and then entered young adulthood, but I cherished every piece she made. These pieces were even more special when I had my children as I got to use the baby blankets, booties, and hats she made. When I was 27, my grandmother passed away. I felt it important for me to keep her crochet hooks. When gathering them, I discovered she had a collection of knitting needles, which I found odd as I never saw her using them because she preferred the quickness of crocheting. Somehow I felt close to her having her hooks and needles, and I started to crochet a little bit in remembrance of her. Next, I decided to teach myself how to knit with her needles. I've since then taught my daughter how to crochet and knit and increased my skills and techniques. Every time I make something, I know she's with me, enjoying every stitch. That is where Moonbeam Styled was born. It's my way to share these stitches of love with you all so you and your loved ones can experience the same joy as those that my grandmother crocheted items for.
