Hello! I’m Emily Gillies, the heart behind SpiritWeaver Studio. I am thrilled to bring my interests and skills together to offer unique handrafted items and personal exploration services to you!

One of my most heartfelt offerings is crafting Memory Tapestries. I weave your personal fabrics into cherished heirlooms infused with love and intention. These are beautiful pieces and tangible reflections of your loved ones’ unique stories.Â
At SpiritWeaver Studio, each creation is a labour of love crafted with care and mindfulness.Â
Whether you’re looking to join one of my Holding Space Workshops, schedule a Reiki Session, or seeking a custom handwoven piece for your home, I invite you to explore the magic of SpiritWeaver Studio. Art, memories, and personal exploration unite seamlessly, creating a space where every thread tells a story.
Every Thread Tells a Story…Â
Holding Space
Navigate life’s challenges with grace and resilience.
Holding space is the practice of compassionately witnessing, accepting, and supporting someone without judgement, while retaining your boundaries and sense of self.Â
Memory Tapestries
It can be so hard to know what to do with the clothing of someone who has passed away. With the service of ‘Memory Tapestries’, their clothing and personal fabric effects can be transformed into a treasured family heirloom to preserve their unique spirit.
Handcrafted Weavings
My Gramma taught me how to weave when I was a teenager, and now I use her looms to create beautiful and functional home decor from repurposed and upcycled materials. Design a custom piece with me or check out what is currently in the shop!
Reiki Sessions
Reiki is a Japanese healing technique that uses gentle touch to promote relaxation, reduce stress, and support overall well-being. Whether you are looking for physical or emotional relief or spiritual enhancement, Reiki can provide a transformative and healing experience.
A Voice of Gratitude: Inspiring Client Testimonials
“I think it is brilliant that you have keyed into the clothing and other items that our dead have left behind.”
– Karen D., Memory Tapestry customer
Repurposed and Eco-Friendly Goods
Sustainability and environmental responsibility are embedded into my creative process. I am proud to craft each piece using repurposed and upcycled fabrics, transforming them into beautiful and functional items.

The materials I use are carefully selected from sources such as pre-loved clothing, bedding and other household items, surplus fabrics, and other textiles that would otherwise end up in landfills. By giving these materials new life, I contribute to reducing waste and minimizing the environmental impact of my creations.
Each piece I make is a product of love, as I skillfully weave and design with the intention of finding the true beauty of the materials I have on hand, and letting my intuition guide me to pleasing designs and colour combos. From handwoven rugs to placemats, yoga mats, tote bags, pillows, and table runners, every item is a unique work of art that tells a story of sustainability and conscious living.
I believe that beauty and sustainability can go hand in hand, and I strive to create products that look good and align with my values of environmental stewardship. My commitment to using repurposed and upcycled materials reflects my dedication to right relationship with Mother Earth, and simple, realistic eco-friendly pracitices.
Everyone has a unique path…Â
Join me on a journey of creativity and personal exploration to weave together brilliant life tapestries.
