About Me

Hey, I'm Caitlin — the hand-cranked heart behind Northwood Arrow.

Every patch you see here is stitched by me on my vintage chainstitch machine, one loop at a time. It's like coloring, but with thread — and honestly, way more fun.

I studied healthcare administration, earned my MBA, and worked the structured 9-to-5 life... but something was missing. I needed to make things. Tangible, personal, joy-sparking things. So, I picked up a rusty old chainstitch machine, fixed it up, and taught myself the ropes (okay, threads) of chainstitching.

At Northwood Arrow, I create one-of-a-kind patches designed to make you smile, stand out, and feel like you've got something actually unique. No mass production here — just thoughtful design, intentional stitching, and a lot of love in every loop.

Thanks for being here.
