@destinycitythreads
Mo Milligan does embroidery, but these ain’t your grandma’s needlepoint patterns. Featuring skulls, botanicals and sassy slogans like ‘Stay Salty’ and ‘Stay Golden’, her threads are fresh, modern and thoroughly unique. She’s got a sweet shop on Etsy, and if you ask her nicely she may even make you a custom piece.
