Our Founder’s Story
When life gets tough I reach for my stitching. Stitching can be an incredibly therapeutic activity. It increases blood flow to the brain and stimulates new cell growth. It can be meditative and soothing; most of all, it feels great and rewarding.
I have fond memories of spending time in my Mom’s sewing room as a child. Watching her create beautiful children’s clothes while I played on the floor was a joyous experience. She not only taught me how to sew but also how the act of sewing can make you feel. It was a valuable lesson that has stayed with me throughout my life.
Then, when I was twelve years old I went and stayed with my aunt for a week one summer. She was an avid stitcher and introduced me to the art of cross stitch. I went home that summer with a binder full of patterns and a container full of half of each of her floss threads. The rest is history. I’ve been stitching for many years, and the stress relief it brings me is incredible.
I created this website as a tribute to my Mom and Aunt, who instilled in me a deep passion for stitching. As I navigate a turning point in my mental health and career, I find myself drawn back to this beloved craft. My hope is to share the happiness that stitching brings me and encourage you to explore your own stitching potential. Let’s embark on this journey together and see where it takes us!
