X2 Ranch Designs (Craft & Embroidery)
Tawyna is a local girl – born and raised in the Bryan/College Station area. She has deep roots in the community with her family being from the area for about 5 generations.
Tawyna’s company is called X2 Ranch Designs and is a craft and embroidery company that she started with her Mom. The name is based on the family’s cattle brand and has been in her family for generations. Tawyna and her Mom (Garla Moehlman) have enjoyed doing crafts and sewing for several years. The pair became interested in embroidery so they could create custom burp cloths when Tawyna and her brother started having children and the rest is history!
They make custom baby items, embroidery, wreaths, holiday items, etc. They recently signed a contract to create items for a new local business called Xotic Camo and are excited about the future!
