Heidy is the owner of Girl and the Hoop. Girl and the Hoop is a one-woman-Latina-owned-small business based out of Chicago. Embroidery is a meditative art form that reconnected Heidy to her childhood and the strong women in her life who crocheted, mended clothes, embroidered and nurtured the idea that slow is GOOD. At Girl and the Hoop, they value the idea that slow is GOOD and create kits that are designed with intention and focus on sustainability. From the fabric type to the hoop, to the packaging, they carefully select eco-friendly materials to work with and minimize the environmental impact.
Heidy states that Girl and the Hoop started as a way to de-stress from her job in IT/Finance. Embroidery helped her slow down, focus and reduce distractions. To this day, it nurtures my Heidy’s creativity and fuels her love for nature! Her hope is that Girl and the Hoop eco-friendly kits will help you slow down, reconnect with nature, all while learning a new meditative hobby.
