Tatreez is traditional Palestinian cross-stitch embroidery, practiced and passed down by Palestinian women for generations. The patterns carry regional meaning, with different villages and areas of Palestine known for their own motifs. Tatreez is how Palestinian women have recorded who they are and where they come from, thread by thread, and it is at the heart of what we make.

Yes. Every tatreez piece is hand-stitched by me, one stitch at a time. Because each piece is made by hand, small variations are part of the work rather than a flaw. That is what makes it handmade.

Yes, and I would love to hear what you have in mind. Timelines vary a lot depending on size and complexity. A small piece can come together in a few days. A large commission can take several months of stitching. Tell me what you are thinking, and if you have a date you are working toward, mention it up front so I can tell you honestly whether it is doable.
