About
I create truly unique, made-to-order crochet pieces from my home studio in Bakersfield, CA. I don’t do repairs or teach, but I love collaborating on custom designs that feel personal and one-of-a-kind.
With a sharp eye for detail, I carefully plan, crochet, and finish every item myself, making sure you’re happy with the final product before it leaves my hands.
To see my most current work and get a feel for my style, please check out my Instagram page (linked on this profile) and message me there with any questions or ideas. If you’re looking for something special made with crochet, I’d love to work with you.

Judy Halliday is the best. I have never worked with a web site. She explained it to me and worked with me on how she would received payment. I'm 72 and needed some guidance on how this all worked. The quality of her work is outstanding. AND you can't beat her pricing. I just showed her a picture of what I wanted her to make and wham ban presto. It was done. You won't be sorry if you hire her to create something amazing for you. I have six grandkids and you can bet I will be asking her to make more projects for me again. Thank you again Judy, Susette

Received both of my crochet dragons really nicely made. The original dragons instructions included that I had purchased off of TEMU App had very difficult Asian instructions, barely can read. So, we decided on doing a different dragon pattern; quite impressed by how both dragons turned out. DeliveryTime: Process of mailing and receiving was timely received on both ends used USPS. Communication: I was notified three times by this small business owner when there was a delay or problem. Packaging: Loved the mailing packaging my crochet dragons arrived in. Customer Support: A thank you card was included from crochetbyhalliday for her customers. Greatly appreciative and very thankful for finding and choosing crochetbyhalliday and supporting the small business owners using Thumbtack. Pricing: $100 ($50 each crochet dragon) Rating: Crochetbyhalliday five starts⭐⭐⭐⭐. (being able to complete) Project for: Gift for two of my G-Kidz. My experience using Thumbtack overall great 👍.

Working with Judy was such a great experience. She was willing to work with a budget I was comfortable with. Made sure the yarn color and design were correct before starting. She even updated me along the way whether she would be finished early or had a small delay. The blankets came packaged great and she provided the tracking information as well. I was blown away with her work and very much would recommend her for your crochet services.
