Step into the world of Kentucky Home Creations, where fabric becomes family legacy. Ed and Shannon Sowders craft textile treasures designed to be cherished for generations – from personalized baby blankets that become childhood keepsakes to custom handbags that make a statement wherever you go.
The magic of their craft lies in the details. Their signature baby blankets feature thoughtfully designed two-sided patterns with embroidery carefully placed to ensure comfort against delicate skin. Using premium 100% cotton materials, they create items built to last, not just in construction but in meaning. Each creation tells a story – your story – through customized embroidery, carefully selected fabrics, and personal touches that transform ordinary items into extraordinary keepsakes.
What truly sets Kentucky Home Creations apart is their commitment to creating exclusively one-of-a-kind pieces. "We only do one-offs," Ed explains, emphasizing their dedication to making each item unique for each customer. Whether crafting a beach tote with a matching backpack, a sports-themed stadium bag featuring your favorite team, or a personalized holiday decoration, everything is created individually with attention to both aesthetics and functionality.
Shannon's sewing journey began as a way to connect with her mother, a lifelong seamstress with over 50 years of experience. That personal connection infuses every stitch of their work, bringing warmth and authenticity to each creation. Their product line evolves with the seasons – from summer beach accessories to winter blankets, holiday decorations to Super Bowl merchandise – always maintaining their dedication to quality craftsmanship.
Perhaps most surprising is their commitment to keeping custom craftsmanship affordable. Standard baby blankets typically range from $19-20, with embroidered versions around $30. These reasonable prices make heirloom-quality, personalized items accessible to anyone wanting something truly special.

Yes, I'm Mike Murphy, host ofthe Good Neighbor Podcast.
We interview local businessowners and influencers.
We like to allow listenersthose of you here in Northern
(00:26):
Kentucky to know local businessowners as human beings, not just
a logo on a business card.
So today I have with me agentleman named Ed Souders,
(00:56):
correct, ed Ed Souders?
He and his wife Shannon are theowners of Kentucky it's Seth
Kentucky Home Creations.
Ed, welcome to the show.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
Murph, thanks so much , glad to be here.
Can't wait to dig into thisdeeper.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
So let's start digging in Kentucky Home
Creations.
If somebody were to ask you inthe elevator hey, what do you do
?
What's your little elevatorpitch on Kentucky Home Creations
.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
So Kentucky Home Creations.
We create handmade hair loomblankets, baby stuff, bibs and
et cetera.
We also perform machineembroidery, professional machine
embroidery.
We're able to create thingsfrom scratch, such as handbags,
also totes receiving blankets,place mats, tablecloths, a lot
(01:46):
of stuff for the home, pillows,etc.
Pillowcases are a big thingright now, but that's pretty
much to run the gambit of thingsthat we have done over the past
few years.
We also do some repairs.
It depends upon the situation.
We don't really take on allrepairs, but we can take on some
things for our customers.
We can take on some things for,you know, for our customers.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
So, if I'm hearing you right, everything is
basically textile driven,correct?
It's fabric, yes, sir.
Okay, and you're customizingthings.
So one of the things youmentioned there is blankets baby
blankets, you may have said.
I could see that being a verynice gift to give to somebody.
(02:29):
So do you do one-offs like thator do you prefer things to be
done in mass?
Speaker 1 (02:37):
Well, to be perfectly honest, we only do one-offs.
We don't really mass produceanything.
Because we don't really massproduce anything?
Because we we're requested tocreate things that are unique in
nature.
You know, not only is it a babyblanket, but it's something
very personal.
I mean, it's a in the in theworld of, of heirloom baby
(02:57):
blankets, that's something thatyou know, you look back upon.
You know, that was my babyblanket when I was a child.
It has my name on it.
It has as a saying that mygrandmother picked out for me.
We have a lot of folks who willchoose a phrase hey, I want to
put this phrase on the babyblanket with their name on it.
Okay, we can do that, noproblem whatsoever.
One thing that makes us uniqueis that we do our best is that
(03:21):
on our baby blankets they aretwo-sided, so there's one
pattern on one side and there'sa coordinating pattern on the
other side.
My wife, shannon, is fantasticat coordinating and we will
actually embroider one side ofthe blanket and then cover it
with the other so it doesn't rubon the baby's skin and the
stitches themselves are soft, soeverything is unique and
(03:41):
one-off on every single thing wedo.
Okay.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
So it doesn't just look nice, it's very functional
too.
Okay.
So those are things I hadn'teven thought about.
You know the rubbing on ababy's skin.
So you guys have thought aboutthat.
Okay, we have.
So I asked about baby blanketsjust because that's what stood
out to me.
But if somebody so any givenweek, is there a most popular
(04:08):
category?
What do people come to you formost often?
Speaker 1 (04:12):
It is a run of the gambit.
We also make unique handbagsand purses.
We've had some requests for aspecialized material to make a
purse out of, or maybe a specialtype of tote to carry to the
beach.
Hey, I want, I want this thingto stick out so that I can find
it.
You know, I want it to be mine.
Hey, can you make that out ofthis type of material and put my
(04:34):
name on it and put a pantingdog on the side of it?
Absolutely, no problemwhatsoever.
Hey, can you make me a matchingbackpack?
Absolutely, we'll make you amatching backpack and you will
have definitely something uniquea beach bag with a matching
backpack.
We got you, we got you covered,no sweat whatsoever.
So, yeah, wow.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
All right, that's very cool.
Do people ever either deliverto you to incorporate in
something, or can you provide aphotograph transferred onto
fabric that becomes a part of acollectible?
Is photograph a part of thingsthat you do?
Speaker 1 (05:14):
It is possible.
However, though, the issue withtransferring a photograph onto
embroidery, the problem is thatmost photographs are very detail
oriented, you know, lines andsuch.
If it is small, it doesn'ttransfer very well, it doesn't
do a very good job.
However, though, if it's verylarge, you know we're talking
like a, like a jacket back, youknow, like across the back, that
(05:36):
does okay.
We would prefer that, if youwere to select an icon you know
and that may it may not be anicon that we currently own, we
may be able to reach out andfind an icon that they're
looking for, you know, such aslike an eagle, you know, maybe
they want to eagle with theirspread or something like that.
We have multiple resourceswhere we can go grab an item
like that and we can kind ofmock it up and then the customer
(06:00):
can review it.
Look at, hey, yeah, that looksgreat.
Well, then, we'll stitch it outand make it happen.
Okay, but, like I said, youtalked about pictures.
It doesn't really transfer verywell, okay.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Well, that's good to know.
It's nice that you can at leastdo a little consultation and
somebody comes to you with avision and you're able to give
them options and figure out away to provide something that I
think you know your stuff'sintended to last a long, long
time.
Keepsakes that maybe stay inthe family for a while, huh.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Absolutely, and we use high quality material.
We're always using 100% cotton.
We very rarely use polyesterjust because polyester shrinks a
lot in a wash.
Use polyester just becausepolyester shrinks a lot in a
wash?
You'd think cotton would shrink, but the quality of cotton that
we use?
We don't experience anyshrinkage whatsoever.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
Okay, yeah.
Well, my wife kind of is alwayslooking at labels and saying no
polyester in the house becausepolyester ends up stinking.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
It can, indeed, it can.
Yeah, I feel your pain there,for sure.
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Yeah, so she's 100% cotton person and I'm sure a lot
of people who are going tolisten to this are feeling the
same way.
So what about?
You know?
You mentioned, I think, likebeach bag stuff or just things
that are going to be outdoorsAre some of these fabrics?
Are they color fast or isfading just an inevitable part
of what you got going on, likewhat's that look like?
Speaker 1 (07:32):
Well, it, once again, it kind of depends on the usage
and the application.
You know, if we're, if we'regoing to be using something,
there's going to be outside alot.
You know we have a coating thatwe can actually spray on it.
That'll help prevent it andit's something that's readily
available.
I mean you can buy it atanywhere.
I mean I would recommend it foranything that's outside for any
length of period of time.
And if you wash it, you've gotto recoat it, spray it on, let
(07:52):
it dry.
It's good to go.
We also do a lot of sportsteams hats and such like the
Bengals and the Cincinnati Reds,and we do a lot of Steelers.
But but you know we, we can't,we can't be, we can't be team
loyal around around the Soudershousehold, that's for sure you
know.
But yeah, I mean we, we do alot of a lot of scenarios.
(08:15):
You know that we can actuallyput a put a protective coating
on the material.
We don't like to do that per sebecause over time it does kind
of take away from the actual.
You know the actual item but wewill do it upon request and plus
it's quite expensive to do aswell.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Okay, so, again, you know I'm I'm learning right
along with our listeners.
So this, this is all newinformation to me.
So you know I speaking ofsports stuff, you know I'm a
Michigan football fan.
So you mentioned earlier thatyou've got acres and acres of
(08:50):
fabric that you've invested in.
I would assume that some ofthat is maize and blue.
Go, blue Michigan colors.
But you know, I would imaginethat because people are just so
passionate about their sportsthat that is, or at least could
be, a very big category believeit or not, it is one of our
(09:14):
biggest sellers, uh, as theBengals, and anything Bengals
here in the North Kentucky areais just huge.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
Um, my wife makes a couple different of the uh of
the Bengals totes.
They're uh, they're a tote bag,you know, carry your stuff in
and out of the game.
We, plus, we have some clearbags that are stadium friendly
with the Bengals logo on it.
Um, and you know that.
That way you don't have to getthe search thing going on when
you go through the metaldetectors.
Same thing for the reds.
We've got some.
We've got some stadium friendlybags as well for the reds.
(09:41):
But yeah, the sports teams arejust, you know, they're huge.
I mean, we've done, we've donethe.
What was it done?
We did Miami, miami Floridauniversity, university of Miami,
the Gators down there.
We also did Georgia Tech andwe've done a Duke and we've done
a.
I mean, those just went rightoff the top of my head.
I mean we've done so many thatit's beginning to lose my track
(10:05):
train of thought.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
Well, possibilities are endless.
Yes, yeah, if somebody wants aspecial keepsake, you know,
geared around their, theirfavorite team point is, they can
come to you and you'll you'llhave plenty of options for them
to choose from.
Do you have a?
Do you have a favorite categoryin terms of you know what you
(10:29):
and Shannon have produced forpeople?
Speaker 1 (10:34):
My favorite thing to create myself is I really enjoy
making the purses and bags, andthe reason why I do is because
sometimes they're a littletedious to work with because,
depending on the size of the bagplus, the material is really
thick.
A lot of this, a lot of it'smade of vinyl and canvas.
You know, like I said, reallydurable, you know stuff these
items are made, you know, forfor ladies to carry.
(10:55):
You know back and durable, youknow stuff these items are made
you know for for ladies to carry.
You know back and forth.
You know and and and utilize ona daily basis.
But that's kind of my favoritething to create.
Shannon enjoys making the babyblankets and the placemats and
she also, she also likes makingthe bags as well, but she's
always coming up with somethingnew.
Like you know, uh, what is?
(11:15):
Uh, the um?
She's working on um, uh, she'sworking on a dish towel pot
holder thing, now that you hangover your your stove handle, and
it's more decorative but it'salso functional in the same way,
um, and she's trying to putthat together, trying to get
that idea off the ground as well, um, but, like I said, there's
(11:36):
so many, many things because werun through so many different
times a year.
You know, obviously this time ofyear we're beach bags and
backpacks and stuff like that,you know.
But as we get into the coldermonths people start talking more
about blankets and we also havepet blankets.
So for your dog or cat orwhatever animal you may have, we
have blankets that are suitablefor them in a, in a, in a pet
(11:58):
pattern, you know, so that youknow they can have their own
blanket when it gets cold out.
So I mean, it just kind of runsthe gab of different things
that we run through the year.
You know, especially now, oncewe get into September, we'll
start pushing the Thanksgivingand the and the Christmas stuff
and then, once we get throughthat we're about midway, we'll
start pushing Superbowl stuff,and we have some pretty neat
(12:18):
Superbowl stuff as well too.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
So, okay, well, that's.
That's all very cool, and Ithink you know, as we talk,
people are imagining some ofthese things and they would like
to see them.
I know you have a Facebook page, is that correct?
We do, yes, we do People go toyour Facebook page?
I'm assuming is it KentuckyHome Creations is the name of
the Facebook page.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
That's correct.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
And Facebook, yes, indeed, just search it out,
we'll come, we'll pop right up,ok good, so people can see some
visuals of what you're producing, but you have a website that's
kind of on the near horizon,correct?
Speaker 1 (12:54):
That's correct, we're .
We're currently in developmentstage.
We're almost finished with it.
We had the domain purchased, wehad that all squared away.
All that technical stuff isready to go.
Right now.
We're merging the online storeand also the website together so
folks can buy directly from thewebsite.
We've got a little hurdle tokind of get over that because of
our program that we utilize toaccept credit cards.
(13:18):
There's a little bit of adisconnect with our Web site
platform.
But it's just.
It's going to take anotherlittle bit to get squared away.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
Yeah, e-commerce is great, but you know it's it's
also got to be done right,because it can be a very
frustrating experience for theconsumer if it's not.
So, yeah, make sure you've gotall your ducks in a row before
you go live with that.
But that's good to know thatpeople will be able to come and
actually see things, good ideas,and then purchase directly
(13:48):
right off the website.
Sure, and you live here locally.
You're in Independence, correct?
Speaker 1 (13:55):
That's right, beautiful downtown, independence
, kentucky, right here.
I was born and raised literallyabout three miles over my
shoulder.
My dad's place was, as a matterof fact, where my home sits
right now.
I used to bale the hay with myuncle and my uncle, my cousins
and my dad in this field wheremy beautiful home sits right now
.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
Wow, OK.
So there's going to be a lot ofpeople who know you very well
because you're homegrown.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
My wife gets very frustrated at me when I'm out
and about, People say, Ed, oh mygosh good to see you.
I haven't seen you in forever.
I know man, Always somewhere.
Somebody knows me for something.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
Okay, well, that could be good or bad, but we'll
just put that in the goodcategory.
You seem like a great guy.
I appreciate that.
Thank you, murph.
So, shannon, you and Shannon,you live locally.
I assume that you've gotchildren, is that correct that?
Speaker 1 (14:47):
is exactly right, yes , sir.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
Probably not little children.
No, you and I appear to beclose in age, so your kids are
probably grown, eh.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
Yeah, as a matter of fact, my youngest one has
finally flown the coop, as theysay.
She just recently graduatedhigh school and she'll be headed
in the armed forces.
I'm so proud of her.
She is, like I said, theyoungest of the brood and, like
I said, she's moving on togreater, on to her own life and
better things.
Okay, my oldest, my oldest, helives here, right here in
(15:21):
Crittenden, kentucky.
He did used to live inCalifornia for a hot minute and
he recently moved back out hereto a beautiful state of Kentucky
because, you know, we have amuch better philosophy on life.
I'm still trying to get mymiddle son to move up and move
out here to Kentucky, but it's alittle bit harder for him to
(15:42):
move out because he does have a.
Our granddaughter is out there.
She's only pushing three andthey have some stability issues
out there that would not reallyprevent them or not really
provide them an avenue to movehere to Kentucky.
But hey, hopefully one day.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Yeah Well, that's what cell phones and computers
are for to be able to at leaststay in touch.
When somebody is halfway acrossthe, or actually all the way
across the country, you can stayin touch with them All the time
.
Yeah Well, maybe you'll get himback in Kentucky again, because
you're you're right this is abeautiful place to live.
(16:20):
we came down here from Michigan20 some years ago gosh, about 30
years now, I guess and uh, wow,love, love, love Kentucky, love
Michigan, but love Kentucky aswell.
Beautiful place, absolutely.
So what is Shannon's backgroundthat?
I know, you know she is kind ofthe owner of the business
You're the face of the businesson this podcast today but it's
(16:43):
her business.
So what got her into this?
Speaker 1 (16:47):
Well, that's a little bit of a lengthy story.
I'll try to make it brief.
Her mom is a seamstress bysecond trade and she has been
into sewing and embroidery forprobably more than 50 or 60
years.
Her mother has actually wornout three or four multi-needle
(17:13):
embroidered machines over theyears.
Shannon has recently got intoit in the past seven years I
guess about seven, nine yearsnow and she's kind of been doing
it on the side because mainlybecause it was a connection
point with her mom and it justmade sense.
Well, she began to be veryastute and very good at it and
she decided to make the leap andbuy her first embroidery
(17:34):
machine, which was a singleneedle Basically, wore that
thing out and we decided to makethe jump into buying a
professional grade 10 needleembroidery machine.
And that just kind of veeredthe ship down the road of
textiles.
And you know, we had thecollective idea of, hey, let's
(17:57):
see if folks want to buy thisstuff that you know that you
create, because it's beginningto pile up around here and I
know you like making it but it'skind of you know, kind of
getting in the way around here.
So we started selling somestuff at shows and there we go.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
So that's kind of the story of it.
Yeah, sometimes a businessfinds us.
You know, something that youenjoy doing and you're
passionate about just eventuallybecomes a business.
I can imagine, you know, ifyou're a creative type and
you're making these things andyou're carrying them about the
community, people say, hey,where'd you get that?
Speaker 1 (18:31):
I want one too, and so hence the business is born
the, the ladies at church, youknow we, um, well, we attend
seven hills church over here inflorence, okay, and um, the, uh,
the ladies at church, you knowthey, I don't know how many bags
and purses that sh has, youknow, created for folks.
Basically, you know she,individuals, will come to her,
(18:55):
hey, can you make a bag likethis, you know, and with this
pattern, and Shannon will go,well, let me look, let me see
what I have available.
And once again, the creative,you know the creative juices
start going between the customerand her and they start working
it out.
And when, the, when thetechnical details come, or we,
well, hey, we can't figure outhow to get this handle on here,
or we can't figure out how toput this.
(19:15):
And that's when they come seeme and I can usually figure
those things out for them.
To get those, you know, get thepieces of it to make a, make a
strap or make a handle, or getthis bottom skirt or whatever.
But, but I mean baby blanketsand I mean everything I
mentioned before.
You know, the folks at churchhave just been very great
gracious as far as you'resupporting us in our business.
That's the great, great areathat we enjoy.
(19:37):
I would imagine that you wouldattend local craft fairs and
things like that.
Right, we most certainly do, wedo, we do.
We were most typically at thebig one at the Ryle High School
for the cheerleading, acheerleading event, and then
we're also, a matter of fact,coming up on August.
(19:58):
The second will be in Florenceat the festival that's going on
there in the car show there inFlorence on August 2nd.
We'll be there.
We'll also be at the BooneCounty cheerleading event coming
up in.
I believe it's at the end ofOctober, I believe.
Don't quote me on the date onthat one, but we typically are
(20:19):
both of those shows every year.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
Okay, so people can go to your Facebook page and
you'll make sure that they knowwhere you're going to be
upcoming when you get thatwebsite launched.
You'll do the same, I'm surethat's exactly right.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
As a matter of fact, the uh, the show here in
florence.
It just kind of popped up on ushere.
We actually forgot about itshame on me, webmaster.
So I need to get that up.
I need to get that up over theweekend so folks know they can
find us out there and, um, soyeah, we'll, uh, we'll, we'll
have updates, you know and, andproduce them on Facebook before
they go anywhere else.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
Okay, so when you go to a craft show, since so much
of what you do is kind ofcustomized, do you just sort of
have a few samples that youcarry around, or do you have a
photograph, pitch, book?
How do you operate?
Speaker 1 (21:09):
So ultimately we do have some stock items.
I mean, they are all unique,they're all one-offs.
And basically they werescenarios where my wife Shannon
would look at it like, well,those two would look pretty good
together.
I think I'll make a babyblanket out of that.
But then she would create itand she goes you know what?
That looks fantastic.
And then she would fold it upand stow it away and then she'd
(21:31):
move on to the next one andthat's kind of how it kind of
snowballed.
And you know, we do a backlog of, like I said, custom, unique
stuff.
There are one-offs, there aresome that have, like I said, for
example, like a baby blanket,side A, side B.
There may be another one thathas side A but it has a
completely different backside,side C or side D.
(21:52):
It would be similar but notidentical.
But yeah, we do have stock andproduct that we can sell at the
shows that are.
They're not customized as faras like embroidery, names or
something like that.
But if someone picks it up andsay, you know, I really like
this duck print, do you thinkyou could customize this for it?
Well, absolutely, we can dothat for you.
(22:12):
I'm 1,000%.
We can actually take that verysame one.
We can put their name on it,fill out an order form and what
they want.
We can actually deconstructthat particular item, put on the
embroidery whatever they wantedand then reconstruct it.
That is a possibility as well,okay.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
Or somebody could just walk up and say, hey, I
love that color blue, I lovethis bag, this is beautiful.
How much you want for it?
Speaker 1 (22:36):
Exactly.
Or they say, hey, I got thisblue jean jacket on.
I really want to put this onthe back of it.
Okay, great, we'll set up apoint in time where we can sit
down and talk about thespecifics and we'll make it
happen.
They're providing the item andwe'll make it happen.
You know, they're providing theitem and we'll provide the
decoration.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
Perfect.
Well, sounds like a lot of funand I wish you guys very well
with the launch of the website.
I look forward to meeting youin person.
You know I'll come to a craftshow and we'll get to shake
hands, see each other face toface.
Looking forward to meetingShannon and before we go, is
(23:14):
there anything we haven't talkedabout that you would like
people to know that we haven'tdiscussed yet?
Speaker 1 (23:20):
Sure, there is a misconception out there about
what we do.
A lot of people, when theythink about customized products
like this, they think of theirbeing very expensive.
That's not the case.
Our typical baby blanket itwill sell for somewhere between
19 and 20 dollars.
If it's embroidered, we'retalking no more than 30.
(23:41):
So, and unless unless you'redoing something really
extravagant, you know, a typicalembroidered hat, I mean, it
sells for between 15 and 20dollars.
Our items are very affordableand there's a misconception out
there.
Oh, they're talking aboutcustom.
It must be really expensive.
No, no, we're realists.
We don't gouge.
Look, we may have three hoursin creating this from start to
(24:07):
finish, but we have a flatcharge that we charge for that.
And that's the other thing toois if the customer comes to us
and we give them a quote forsomething, you know, whatever it
may be, you know, run thegambit.
And if we say X amount ofdollars and if we spend, you
know, if we spend three weekstrying to create this thing, we
still only charge them what wequote.
We don't, we don't go back andsay, you know, we, we really
(24:27):
messed up on that.
No, no, what we quote you iswhat we bill you and we do
things fairly.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
Okay, well, I could see people because those prices
seem more than fair to me, quitehonestly.
They seem instinctively maybe alittle less than what you would
expect to pay.
So I wouldn't be surprised ifsomebody were to say to you oh
no, no, I want to pay you more.
So the business consultant inme says you know, if somebody
(24:59):
wants to pay you more for whatyou're doing, do it.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
Well, murph, you know that's.
The thing is that you know wehave.
Now I will tell you that we dohave some bags that border on
$50 or more but, we also havebags that are, you know they're,
you know they're $16, $18.
And once again, it depends onthe material, depends on the
design.
You know what all goes into itand it's all about, you know,
trying to.
I want the we, not I but wewant the customer to be happy
(25:23):
with what they have.
If they're happy with it, thenwe're happy with it, Then
they're going to tell morepeople about it and then we can,
you know we can continue togrow our business.
We're, we're, we are, we're alittle discouraged, honestly, on
our Facebook page because wehaven't received a bunch of
likes or a bunch of follows.
I tell you what we're we're atthe point where we're about
ready to start offeringdiscounts for likes and follows
(25:43):

Speaker 2 (25:45):
Okay, well, we'll see if we can't get some more

We interview local businessowners and influencers.
We like to allow listenersthose of you here in Northern
(00:26):
Kentucky to know local businessowners as human beings, not just
a logo on a business card.
So today I have with me agentleman named Ed Souders,
(00:56):
correct, ed Ed Souders?
He and his wife Shannon are theowners of Kentucky it's Seth
Kentucky Home Creations.
Ed, welcome to the show.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
Murph, thanks so much , glad to be here.
Can't wait to dig into thisdeeper.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
So let's start digging in Kentucky Home
Creations.
If somebody were to ask you inthe elevator hey, what do you do
?
What's your little elevatorpitch on Kentucky Home Creations
.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
So Kentucky Home Creations.
We create handmade hair loomblankets, baby stuff, bibs and
et cetera.
We also perform machineembroidery, professional machine
embroidery.
We're able to create thingsfrom scratch, such as handbags,
also totes receiving blankets,place mats, tablecloths, a lot
(01:46):
of stuff for the home, pillows,etc.
Pillowcases are a big thingright now, but that's pretty
much to run the gambit of thingsthat we have done over the past
few years.
We also do some repairs.
It depends upon the situation.
We don't really take on allrepairs, but we can take on some
things for our customers.
We can take on some things for,you know, for our customers.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
So, if I'm hearing you right, everything is
basically textile driven,correct?
It's fabric, yes, sir.
Okay, and you're customizingthings.
So one of the things youmentioned there is blankets baby
blankets, you may have said.
I could see that being a verynice gift to give to somebody.
(02:29):
So do you do one-offs like thator do you prefer things to be
done in mass?
Speaker 1 (02:37):
Well, to be perfectly honest, we only do one-offs.
We don't really mass produceanything.
Because we don't really massproduce anything?
Because we we're requested tocreate things that are unique in
nature.
You know, not only is it a babyblanket, but it's something
very personal.
I mean, it's a in the in theworld of, of heirloom baby
(02:57):
blankets, that's something thatyou know, you look back upon.
You know, that was my babyblanket when I was a child.
It has my name on it.
It has as a saying that mygrandmother picked out for me.
We have a lot of folks who willchoose a phrase hey, I want to
put this phrase on the babyblanket with their name on it.
Okay, we can do that, noproblem whatsoever.
One thing that makes us uniqueis that we do our best is that
(03:21):
on our baby blankets they aretwo-sided, so there's one
pattern on one side and there'sa coordinating pattern on the
other side.
My wife, shannon, is fantasticat coordinating and we will
actually embroider one side ofthe blanket and then cover it
with the other so it doesn't rubon the baby's skin and the
stitches themselves are soft, soeverything is unique and
(03:41):
one-off on every single thing wedo.
Okay.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
So it doesn't just look nice, it's very functional
too.
Okay.
So those are things I hadn'teven thought about.
You know the rubbing on ababy's skin.
So you guys have thought aboutthat.
Okay, we have.
So I asked about baby blanketsjust because that's what stood
out to me.
But if somebody so any givenweek, is there a most popular
(04:08):
category?
What do people come to you formost often?
Speaker 1 (04:12):
It is a run of the gambit.
We also make unique handbagsand purses.
We've had some requests for aspecialized material to make a
purse out of, or maybe a specialtype of tote to carry to the
beach.
Hey, I want, I want this thingto stick out so that I can find
it.
You know, I want it to be mine.
Hey, can you make that out ofthis type of material and put my
(04:34):
name on it and put a pantingdog on the side of it?
Absolutely, no problemwhatsoever.
Hey, can you make me a matchingbackpack?
Absolutely, we'll make you amatching backpack and you will
have definitely something uniquea beach bag with a matching
backpack.
We got you, we got you covered,no sweat whatsoever.
So, yeah, wow.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
All right, that's very cool.
Do people ever either deliverto you to incorporate in
something, or can you provide aphotograph transferred onto
fabric that becomes a part of acollectible?
Is photograph a part of thingsthat you do?
Speaker 1 (05:14):
It is possible.
However, though, the issue withtransferring a photograph onto
embroidery, the problem is thatmost photographs are very detail
oriented, you know, lines andsuch.
If it is small, it doesn'ttransfer very well, it doesn't
do a very good job.
However, though, if it's verylarge, you know we're talking
like a, like a jacket back, youknow, like across the back, that
(05:36):
does okay.
We would prefer that, if youwere to select an icon you know
and that may it may not be anicon that we currently own, we
may be able to reach out andfind an icon that they're
looking for, you know, such aslike an eagle, you know, maybe
they want to eagle with theirspread or something like that.
We have multiple resourceswhere we can go grab an item
like that and we can kind ofmock it up and then the customer
(06:00):
can review it.
Look at, hey, yeah, that looksgreat.
Well, then, we'll stitch it outand make it happen.
Okay, but, like I said, youtalked about pictures.
It doesn't really transfer verywell, okay.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Well, that's good to know.
It's nice that you can at leastdo a little consultation and
somebody comes to you with avision and you're able to give
them options and figure out away to provide something that I
think you know your stuff'sintended to last a long, long
time.
Keepsakes that maybe stay inthe family for a while, huh.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Absolutely, and we use high quality material.
We're always using 100% cotton.
We very rarely use polyesterjust because polyester shrinks a
lot in a wash.
Use polyester just becausepolyester shrinks a lot in a
wash?
You'd think cotton would shrink, but the quality of cotton that
we use?
We don't experience anyshrinkage whatsoever.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
Okay, yeah.
Well, my wife kind of is alwayslooking at labels and saying no
polyester in the house becausepolyester ends up stinking.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
It can, indeed, it can.
Yeah, I feel your pain there,for sure.
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Yeah, so she's 100% cotton person and I'm sure a lot
of people who are going tolisten to this are feeling the
same way.
So what about?
You know?
You mentioned, I think, likebeach bag stuff or just things
that are going to be outdoorsAre some of these fabrics?
Are they color fast or isfading just an inevitable part
of what you got going on, likewhat's that look like?
Speaker 1 (07:32):
Well, it, once again, it kind of depends on the usage
and the application.
You know, if we're, if we'regoing to be using something,
there's going to be outside alot.
You know we have a coating thatwe can actually spray on it.
That'll help prevent it andit's something that's readily
available.
I mean you can buy it atanywhere.
I mean I would recommend it foranything that's outside for any
length of period of time.
And if you wash it, you've gotto recoat it, spray it on, let
(07:52):
it dry.
It's good to go.
We also do a lot of sportsteams hats and such like the
Bengals and the Cincinnati Reds,and we do a lot of Steelers.
But but you know we, we can't,we can't be, we can't be team
loyal around around the Soudershousehold, that's for sure you
know.
But yeah, I mean we, we do alot of a lot of scenarios.
(08:15):
You know that we can actuallyput a put a protective coating
on the material.
We don't like to do that per sebecause over time it does kind
of take away from the actual.
You know the actual item but wewill do it upon request and plus
it's quite expensive to do aswell.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Okay, so, again, you know I'm I'm learning right
along with our listeners.
So this, this is all newinformation to me.
So you know I speaking ofsports stuff, you know I'm a
Michigan football fan.
So you mentioned earlier thatyou've got acres and acres of
(08:50):
fabric that you've invested in.
I would assume that some ofthat is maize and blue.
Go, blue Michigan colors.
But you know, I would imaginethat because people are just so
passionate about their sportsthat that is, or at least could
be, a very big category believeit or not, it is one of our
(09:14):
biggest sellers, uh, as theBengals, and anything Bengals
here in the North Kentucky areais just huge.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
Um, my wife makes a couple different of the uh of
the Bengals totes.
They're uh, they're a tote bag,you know, carry your stuff in
and out of the game.
We, plus, we have some clearbags that are stadium friendly
with the Bengals logo on it.
Um, and you know that.
That way you don't have to getthe search thing going on when
you go through the metaldetectors.
Same thing for the reds.
We've got some.
We've got some stadium friendlybags as well for the reds.
(09:41):
But yeah, the sports teams arejust, you know, they're huge.
I mean, we've done, we've donethe.
What was it done?
We did Miami, miami Floridauniversity, university of Miami,
the Gators down there.
We also did Georgia Tech andwe've done a Duke and we've done
a.
I mean, those just went rightoff the top of my head.
I mean we've done so many thatit's beginning to lose my track
(10:05):
train of thought.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
Well, possibilities are endless.
Yes, yeah, if somebody wants aspecial keepsake, you know,
geared around their, theirfavorite team point is, they can
come to you and you'll you'llhave plenty of options for them
to choose from.
Do you have a?
Do you have a favorite categoryin terms of you know what you
(10:29):
and Shannon have produced forpeople?
Speaker 1 (10:34):
My favorite thing to create myself is I really enjoy
making the purses and bags, andthe reason why I do is because
sometimes they're a littletedious to work with because,
depending on the size of the bagplus, the material is really
thick.
A lot of this, a lot of it'smade of vinyl and canvas.
You know, like I said, reallydurable, you know stuff these
items are made, you know, forfor ladies to carry.
(10:55):
You know back and durable, youknow stuff these items are made
you know for for ladies to carry.
You know back and forth.
You know and and and utilize ona daily basis.
But that's kind of my favoritething to create.
Shannon enjoys making the babyblankets and the placemats and
she also, she also likes makingthe bags as well, but she's
always coming up with somethingnew.
Like you know, uh, what is?
(11:15):
Uh, the um?
She's working on um, uh, she'sworking on a dish towel pot
holder thing, now that you hangover your your stove handle, and
it's more decorative but it'salso functional in the same way,
um, and she's trying to putthat together, trying to get
that idea off the ground as well, um, but, like I said, there's
(11:36):
so many, many things because werun through so many different
times a year.
You know, obviously this time ofyear we're beach bags and
backpacks and stuff like that,you know.
But as we get into the coldermonths people start talking more
about blankets and we also havepet blankets.
So for your dog or cat orwhatever animal you may have, we
have blankets that are suitablefor them in a, in a, in a pet
(11:58):
pattern, you know, so that youknow they can have their own
blanket when it gets cold out.
So I mean, it just kind of runsthe gab of different things
that we run through the year.
You know, especially now, oncewe get into September, we'll
start pushing the Thanksgivingand the and the Christmas stuff
and then, once we get throughthat we're about midway, we'll
start pushing Superbowl stuff,and we have some pretty neat
(12:18):
Superbowl stuff as well too.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
So, okay, well, that's.
That's all very cool, and Ithink you know, as we talk,
people are imagining some ofthese things and they would like
to see them.
I know you have a Facebook page, is that correct?
We do, yes, we do People go toyour Facebook page?
I'm assuming is it KentuckyHome Creations is the name of
the Facebook page.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
That's correct.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
And Facebook, yes, indeed, just search it out,
we'll come, we'll pop right up,ok good, so people can see some
visuals of what you're producing, but you have a website that's
kind of on the near horizon,correct?
Speaker 1 (12:54):
That's correct, we're .
We're currently in developmentstage.
We're almost finished with it.
We had the domain purchased, wehad that all squared away.
All that technical stuff isready to go.
Right now.
We're merging the online storeand also the website together so
folks can buy directly from thewebsite.
We've got a little hurdle tokind of get over that because of
our program that we utilize toaccept credit cards.
(13:18):
There's a little bit of adisconnect with our Web site
platform.
But it's just.
It's going to take anotherlittle bit to get squared away.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
Yeah, e-commerce is great, but you know it's it's
also got to be done right,because it can be a very
frustrating experience for theconsumer if it's not.
So, yeah, make sure you've gotall your ducks in a row before
you go live with that.
But that's good to know thatpeople will be able to come and
actually see things, good ideas,and then purchase directly
(13:48):
right off the website.
Sure, and you live here locally.
You're in Independence, correct?
Speaker 1 (13:55):
That's right, beautiful downtown, independence
, kentucky, right here.
I was born and raised literallyabout three miles over my
shoulder.
My dad's place was, as a matterof fact, where my home sits
right now.
I used to bale the hay with myuncle and my uncle, my cousins
and my dad in this field wheremy beautiful home sits right now
.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
Wow, OK.
So there's going to be a lot ofpeople who know you very well
because you're homegrown.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
My wife gets very frustrated at me when I'm out
and about, People say, Ed, oh mygosh good to see you.
I haven't seen you in forever.
I know man, Always somewhere.
Somebody knows me for something.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
Okay, well, that could be good or bad, but we'll
just put that in the goodcategory.
You seem like a great guy.
I appreciate that.
Thank you, murph.
So, shannon, you and Shannon,you live locally.
I assume that you've gotchildren, is that correct that?
Speaker 1 (14:47):
is exactly right, yes , sir.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
Probably not little children.
No, you and I appear to beclose in age, so your kids are
probably grown, eh.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
Yeah, as a matter of fact, my youngest one has
finally flown the coop, as theysay.
She just recently graduatedhigh school and she'll be headed
in the armed forces.
I'm so proud of her.
She is, like I said, theyoungest of the brood and, like
I said, she's moving on togreater, on to her own life and
better things.
Okay, my oldest, my oldest, helives here, right here in
(15:21):
Crittenden, kentucky.
He did used to live inCalifornia for a hot minute and
he recently moved back out hereto a beautiful state of Kentucky
because, you know, we have amuch better philosophy on life.
I'm still trying to get mymiddle son to move up and move
out here to Kentucky, but it's alittle bit harder for him to
(15:42):
move out because he does have a.
Our granddaughter is out there.
She's only pushing three andthey have some stability issues
out there that would not reallyprevent them or not really
provide them an avenue to movehere to Kentucky.
But hey, hopefully one day.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Yeah Well, that's what cell phones and computers
are for to be able to at leaststay in touch.
When somebody is halfway acrossthe, or actually all the way
across the country, you can stayin touch with them All the time
.
Yeah Well, maybe you'll get himback in Kentucky again, because
you're you're right this is abeautiful place to live.
(16:20):
we came down here from Michigan20 some years ago gosh, about 30
years now, I guess and uh, wow,love, love, love Kentucky, love
Michigan, but love Kentucky aswell.
Beautiful place, absolutely.
So what is Shannon's backgroundthat?
I know, you know she is kind ofthe owner of the business
You're the face of the businesson this podcast today but it's
(16:43):
her business.
So what got her into this?
Speaker 1 (16:47):
Well, that's a little bit of a lengthy story.
I'll try to make it brief.
Her mom is a seamstress bysecond trade and she has been
into sewing and embroidery forprobably more than 50 or 60
years.
Her mother has actually wornout three or four multi-needle
(17:13):
embroidered machines over theyears.
Shannon has recently got intoit in the past seven years I
guess about seven, nine yearsnow and she's kind of been doing
it on the side because mainlybecause it was a connection
point with her mom and it justmade sense.
Well, she began to be veryastute and very good at it and
she decided to make the leap andbuy her first embroidery
(17:34):
machine, which was a singleneedle Basically, wore that
thing out and we decided to makethe jump into buying a
professional grade 10 needleembroidery machine.
And that just kind of veeredthe ship down the road of
textiles.
And you know, we had thecollective idea of, hey, let's
(17:57):
see if folks want to buy thisstuff that you know that you
create, because it's beginningto pile up around here and I
know you like making it but it'skind of you know, kind of
getting in the way around here.
So we started selling somestuff at shows and there we go.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
So that's kind of the story of it.
Yeah, sometimes a businessfinds us.
You know, something that youenjoy doing and you're
passionate about just eventuallybecomes a business.
I can imagine, you know, ifyou're a creative type and
you're making these things andyou're carrying them about the
community, people say, hey,where'd you get that?
Speaker 1 (18:31):
I want one too, and so hence the business is born
the, the ladies at church, youknow we, um, well, we attend
seven hills church over here inflorence, okay, and um, the, uh,
the ladies at church, you knowthey, I don't know how many bags
and purses that sh has, youknow, created for folks.
Basically, you know she,individuals, will come to her,
(18:55):
hey, can you make a bag likethis, you know, and with this
pattern, and Shannon will go,well, let me look, let me see
what I have available.
And once again, the creative,you know the creative juices
start going between the customerand her and they start working
it out.
And when, the, when thetechnical details come, or we,
well, hey, we can't figure outhow to get this handle on here,
or we can't figure out how toput this.
(19:15):
And that's when they come seeme and I can usually figure
those things out for them.
To get those, you know, get thepieces of it to make a, make a
strap or make a handle, or getthis bottom skirt or whatever.
But, but I mean baby blanketsand I mean everything I
mentioned before.
You know, the folks at churchhave just been very great
gracious as far as you'resupporting us in our business.
That's the great, great areathat we enjoy.
(19:37):
I would imagine that you wouldattend local craft fairs and
things like that.
Right, we most certainly do, wedo, we do.
We were most typically at thebig one at the Ryle High School
for the cheerleading, acheerleading event, and then
we're also, a matter of fact,coming up on August.
(19:58):
The second will be in Florenceat the festival that's going on
there in the car show there inFlorence on August 2nd.
We'll be there.
We'll also be at the BooneCounty cheerleading event coming
up in.
I believe it's at the end ofOctober, I believe.
Don't quote me on the date onthat one, but we typically are
(20:19):
both of those shows every year.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
Okay, so people can go to your Facebook page and
you'll make sure that they knowwhere you're going to be
upcoming when you get thatwebsite launched.
You'll do the same, I'm surethat's exactly right.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
As a matter of fact, the uh, the show here in
florence.
It just kind of popped up on ushere.
We actually forgot about itshame on me, webmaster.
So I need to get that up.
I need to get that up over theweekend so folks know they can
find us out there and, um, soyeah, we'll, uh, we'll, we'll
have updates, you know and, andproduce them on Facebook before
they go anywhere else.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
Okay, so when you go to a craft show, since so much
of what you do is kind ofcustomized, do you just sort of
have a few samples that youcarry around, or do you have a
photograph, pitch, book?
How do you operate?
Speaker 1 (21:09):
So ultimately we do have some stock items.
I mean, they are all unique,they're all one-offs.
And basically they werescenarios where my wife Shannon
would look at it like, well,those two would look pretty good
together.
I think I'll make a babyblanket out of that.
But then she would create itand she goes you know what?
That looks fantastic.
And then she would fold it upand stow it away and then she'd
(21:31):
move on to the next one andthat's kind of how it kind of
snowballed.
And you know, we do a backlog of, like I said, custom, unique
stuff.
There are one-offs, there aresome that have, like I said, for
example, like a baby blanket,side A, side B.
There may be another one thathas side A but it has a
completely different backside,side C or side D.
(21:52):
It would be similar but notidentical.
But yeah, we do have stock andproduct that we can sell at the
shows that are.
They're not customized as faras like embroidery, names or
something like that.
But if someone picks it up andsay, you know, I really like
this duck print, do you thinkyou could customize this for it?
Well, absolutely, we can dothat for you.
(22:12):
I'm 1,000%.
We can actually take that verysame one.
We can put their name on it,fill out an order form and what
they want.
We can actually deconstructthat particular item, put on the
embroidery whatever they wantedand then reconstruct it.
That is a possibility as well,okay.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
Or somebody could just walk up and say, hey, I
love that color blue, I lovethis bag, this is beautiful.
How much you want for it?
Speaker 1 (22:36):
Exactly.
Or they say, hey, I got thisblue jean jacket on.
I really want to put this onthe back of it.
Okay, great, we'll set up apoint in time where we can sit
down and talk about thespecifics and we'll make it
happen.
They're providing the item andwe'll make it happen.
You know, they're providing theitem and we'll provide the
decoration.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
Perfect.
Well, sounds like a lot of funand I wish you guys very well
with the launch of the website.
I look forward to meeting youin person.
You know I'll come to a craftshow and we'll get to shake
hands, see each other face toface.
Looking forward to meetingShannon and before we go, is
(23:14):
there anything we haven't talkedabout that you would like
people to know that we haven'tdiscussed yet?
Speaker 1 (23:20):
Sure, there is a misconception out there about
what we do.
A lot of people, when theythink about customized products
like this, they think of theirbeing very expensive.
That's not the case.
Our typical baby blanket itwill sell for somewhere between
19 and 20 dollars.
If it's embroidered, we'retalking no more than 30.
(23:41):
So, and unless unless you'redoing something really
extravagant, you know, a typicalembroidered hat, I mean, it
sells for between 15 and 20dollars.
Our items are very affordableand there's a misconception out
there.
Oh, they're talking aboutcustom.
It must be really expensive.
No, no, we're realists.
We don't gouge.
Look, we may have three hoursin creating this from start to
(24:07):
finish, but we have a flatcharge that we charge for that.
And that's the other thing toois if the customer comes to us
and we give them a quote forsomething, you know, whatever it
may be, you know, run thegambit.
And if we say X amount ofdollars and if we spend, you
know, if we spend three weekstrying to create this thing, we
still only charge them what wequote.
We don't, we don't go back andsay, you know, we, we really
(24:27):
messed up on that.
No, no, what we quote you iswhat we bill you and we do
things fairly.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
Okay, well, I could see people because those prices
seem more than fair to me, quitehonestly.
They seem instinctively maybe alittle less than what you would
expect to pay.
So I wouldn't be surprised ifsomebody were to say to you oh
no, no, I want to pay you more.
So the business consultant inme says you know, if somebody
(24:59):
wants to pay you more for whatyou're doing, do it.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
Well, murph, you know that's.
The thing is that you know wehave.
Now I will tell you that we dohave some bags that border on
$50 or more but, we also havebags that are, you know they're,
you know they're $16, $18.
And once again, it depends onthe material, depends on the
design.
You know what all goes into itand it's all about, you know,
trying to.
I want the we, not I but wewant the customer to be happy
(25:23):
with what they have.
If they're happy with it, thenwe're happy with it, Then
they're going to tell morepeople about it and then we can,
you know we can continue togrow our business.
We're, we're, we are, we're alittle discouraged, honestly, on
our Facebook page because wehaven't received a bunch of
likes or a bunch of follows.
I tell you what we're we're atthe point where we're about
ready to start offeringdiscounts for likes and follows
(25:43):

Speaker 2 (25:45):
Okay, well, we'll see if we can't get some more
eyeballs on that page.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
