Elyssa Gerber (they/she) is the fiber artist behind The Stitching Hour, which specializes in witchy cross-stitched jewelry, hand-embroidered wall art, and cross-stitch kits and patterns designed to introduce beginners to the craft. Elyssa is also a writer and poet, choral singer, and eclectic witch.

Inspired by the natural world, vintage halloween aesthetics, and classic horror films, Elyssa is changing the perception of cross-stitch, one piece at a time. Fiber arts are important because these ancient skills must be carried into the future by the work of human hands, or they will cease to be.
