BY DANIEL GROGAN
Astoria resident Eileen Klugh
knows how strong of a bond
people have with their pets,
whether their animal is a
dog, cat, lizard, turtle, fish or
even chinchilla. That’s why
Klugh immortalizes pets in
embroidered form via her
online store Keen Thread
Studio (keenthreadstudio.
com) and Etsy shop (etsy.com/
shop/keenthepeach).
Well, to be fair, she has only embroidered likenesses
of dogs, cats and chinchilla so far, but
she’s open to stitching other species.
“I worked on two chinchillas a couple
months ago,” she said. “They were really
fun. I’d love to push the limit on the
definition of ‘pet.’”
