Helen's Needlepoint Journey

I've been stitching since high school, but rediscovered it during my maternity leave with my third child. It was the height of Covid, and I felt like I was losing my mind all the time.

Stitching was calm and controlled, and gave me not only enjoyment and relaxation, but a tangible product for the time and energy spent.

Unlike parenting, or working as a psychotherapist, needlepoint has a beginning, a middle, and an end, and its deeply satisfying to conclude long days with stitching, after the chaos of kids and patients and life. 

Stitch by Stitch has always been my home needlepoint store - I grew up nearby, and my mom has been a customer since day one. It is absolutely unparallelled for thread selection with Susan, special orders of canvases I've seen out in the world, spectacular finishing, and most of all, a warm welcome from Betty every time I walk into the store.

I live in the city, but still insist on servicing my car in New Rochelle...because it's only 5 minutes from Stitch by Stitch. Every time I graciously volunteer to be the one to get the car inspected...I'm really just kitting out a new project, picking up some finishing, or perusing the walls so that I can add to my ever growing stash.
