Meet Our Team
Becky - the 'face' of Stitches in most of our Facebook Live videos and owner of the shop. She is a jack of all trades and master of none ... she is the reason there is so much fabric and stuff in the shop and sometimes she gets carried away. How do you say no to some of these beautiful fabrics!
Carolyn - loves small prints and Christmas fabric. Most of our Christmas samples were made by Carolyn and they are exquisite. She has done many other shop samples and each one is better than the previous. If you could see her seams, you would see that she is also a master of the iron!
Diana - she is our small project expert. From panels to bags to crafty things, she is your expert! Question about a bag and a zipper? Ask Diana! Diana is also our expert on repairing quilts if that's a topic you need support in.
Julie - you don't see much of Julie on the sales floor because she spends most of her time doing fantastic work on customer quilts. She does sneak out every now and then and she also teaches Longarm 101 for those interested in renting. Julie is also a fantastic resource if you need help with using your Amara Handiquilter longarm at home.
Kathy - multi-talented in fiber arts, Kathy is also a weaver! If you want technical details on weaving, she is your expert. Kathy has also made many of our Noodlehead & Sallie Tomato bag patterns.
Ricklie - lover of small pieces and handwork, Ricklie is your go to resource for English Paper Piecing. She has not met a fabric she cannot fussy cut or make a 1/4" hexy out of. She also provides a thorough shop tour for any newcomer!
Tobie - Kaffe groupie. Shall we say more?!? Lover of color and texture, most of our Kaffe samples are made by Tobie. She is up to date on all the latest quilting news on-line and keeps us in the know.
Cheryl - She is our bag sample maker and teacher. Almost all of our bag samples are made by Cheryl, and are as well-made as the professional ones we sometimes borrow from pattern manufacturers! With Cheryl in the classroom, nobody needs to feel intimidated by zippers, mesh, elastic, or rivets.
Michael - He often works on-the-road at our quilt shows and makes a lot of quilt samples for the shop. The fastest quilter, he can make complex BOM quilts in weeks instead of years like many of us! He is also a fantastic resource if you need help using your Moxie Handiquilter longarm at home.
Bev - She is our go-to for embroidery questions. Passionate about customer service and always learning more, she also helps a lot with behind the scenes computer work!
Kathleen - She is our clothing pattern & construction expert. Our clothing classes are all taught by her, and she is extremely thorough. She can help with how to use fabrics other than quilting cotton.
Lisa - She is the creative force behind our mystery quilt programs! Starting in 2023, she has created annual mystery quilt programs with a growing following. She is also very knowledgeable about Deb Tucker tools & rulers.
Katie - She is the glue that keeps a lot of things running smoothly at the shop. Always trying to accomplish 14 more things, she's passionate about excellence in customer service. If you interact with our social media accounts, you're likely working with Katie! She is now also a Handiquilter technician, and can help with technical questions & support.
Hillary & Kevin - Our most experienced Handiquilter technicians. They have been installing, servicing, and maintaining longarm machines for over 10 years!! They are rarely seen in the shop but are the magic behind HQ machines continuing to run smoothly in a 2 hour radius to the shop.
