Collection: Laurie Rowe-Gregory

Hi, I’m Laurie, the maker and creative spirit behind Natural Stitch Designs. My journey began in 2022 while I was home from work because of Covid. I decided to make a rope bowl as a birthday gift for my mom, which quickly turned into making gifts for my daughters and daughters-in-laws. Their encouragement, is what helped launch this business. To this day, it is truly a family affair. My husband is my right hand at markets, handling the heavy lifting and setup, he also hand dyed the rope for me, while my children continue to inspire new ideas. We even have a special design created by our little granddaughter, who has her very own trivet in the collection! Every piece is handcrafted in my home studio in Shelburne using 100% pre-washed cotton rope and durable cotton-blend linings. I love experimenting with different aesthetics, from fabric-wrapped and hand-dyed designs to natural jute accents and minimalist, all-natural rope styles.

What We Offer: • Bowls, bun baskets, and large baskets • Rope trays, coasters, and our special trivets • Market bags

Because of the nature of the materials and techniques, each piece has a true artisan appeal. While some of our popular designs can be recreated, many are distinctly one-of-a-kind—just like the homes they end up in. Please stop by our booth to say hello, feel the textures, and see what we’ve been working on. We’d love to meet you!
