Our Purpose

WE STITCH – it is what we do.

We stitch for warmth and comfort.

We stitch to celebrate.

We stitch to grieve.

We stitch to protest and in support.

We stitch for friends, for family and for strangers we will never know.

Like the ancient pyramids, the power of our craft rises from a firm base of friendship and community to an apex of strength that will stand the    test of time.
