There wouldn't be an OAD without YOU
How OAD came to be.


We are thrilled that everyone who stitches our designs knows they are getting a high quality embroidery design.

My Story
Short Version
OAD was originally created as a finished product store. I find so much joy in making and creating toys and gifts for my children and their friends. After a short time selling on Etsy my finished products, I had inquiries to where the designs were from.
Not feeling my work was good enough quality to sale….
I gave my first few months designs away for free! After so many freebies and gifts, I went head first into the world of digitizing my ideas and designs. I thoroughly enjoy being able to create and make new designs and toys. Our fan base grew quickly and our customers kept cheering us on with more wishes and desires!
Customers would specifically ask for us to design over others due to our attention to detail and customer care. For that, I am so thankful and in awe everyday. I KNOW without you, there would not be an Ohana Applique Design! YOU are what keeps me going and growing! YOU inspire me in all my creations.
Thank you

The very LONG version.
