After being featured in our Meet the Artist profile back in the March 2025 issue of Stroll Isle of Hope, Brittany Milward returned to the spotlight this fall as a vendor at the Isle of Hope Art & Music Festival—for the third year in a row.

Known for her hand-embroidered linens, custom apparel, and charm-studded gemstone necklaces, Brittany brought her signature flair to her colorful booth once again. “The IOH Art & Music Festival is truly a one-of-a-kind event,” she said. “It was an incredible day filled with some of the most talented artists and makers in the area. I’m so honored to have been chosen as a vendor for the third year in a row! The crowds were even bigger this year, and you see everyone you know mingling and shopping.”

Brittany’s creative journey began in 2020 as a lockdown hobby, inspired by her grandmother’s quilts. What started as an Instagram account quickly blossomed into a full-fledged brand: Britt’s Funky Stitch. Today, her custom embroidery and jewelry are treasured for marking life’s meaningful milestones—whether it’s a newborn’s swaddle, a bride’s robe, or a necklace filled with charms that reflect someone’s personality.

You can shop her work online at brittsfunkystitch.com or find her necklaces locally at Emily McCarthy Shoppe and Brown Dog Market.
