ABOUT

Hi, I’m Renee — the hands and heart behind Southern Knot.

I began my nursing career in 1995 and spent many meaningful years as a hospice nurse, walking alongside patients and families during some of life’s most tender moments. It was more than a profession — it was a calling I cherished deeply.

But in 2012, a life-changing car accident brought that chapter to an end, and I had to hang up my scrubs. In the stillness of recovery, I found peace in creating — rediscovering a lifelong love for stitching, sewing, and crafting beauty by hand.

From that quiet place, Southern Knot was born — a sweet Southern brand rooted in tradition, healing, and heartfelt handmade joy.

Now based in the beautiful Golden Isles of Georgia, I specialize in custom embroidery and monogramming for children’s clothing, gifts, accessories, and home décor. From first birthday outfits and personalized baby gowns to heirloom keepsakes and everyday essentials, each piece is stitched with love and Southern charm.

I’m a proud mama of three, mother-in-law to two, and “Nay Nay” to four precious grandchildren — the lights of my life and the inspiration behind so much of what I create.

Southern Knot is more than a business — it’s a labor of love. I’m truly grateful you’re here.   XOXO ~
