We have a purpose
Connection matters as much as the hobby.
Stitching in Color was created from our shared desire to build a space where people of color who love needlepoint feel truly seen, welcomed, and celebrated. We wanted to create more than just a group. We envisioned a supportive home for stitchers to grow their skills, explore their creativity, and connect with others who share similar experiences. At its heart, Stitching in Color exists to ensure that stitchers of color have access to a community that reflects them, supports them, and allows them to show up fully as they are.
Warm &
Welcome
It is a warm and welcoming space created for people of color who love NDLPT and want to nerd out with likeminded stitchers.
The group brings together stitchers of many backgrounds who enjoy learning together, talking about technique, and celebrating each other.
All about community
An inclusive needlepoint community where representation matters most.
We strive to provide a somewhat structured environment for stitchers to develop their skills, expand their creative practice, and engage with a supportive network of likeminded peers.
How It Works
We are a member-focused needlepoint community. Members participate in weekly virtual stitch sessions that include guided discussion, and open stitching time.

Stitching In Color has been the most supportive and inclusive needlepoint community! I look forward to stitching with friends during the weekly zoom calls and in person whenever we’re in the same city. The community constantly inspires me to create more culturally diverse designs for Safira Stitches!

What I love the most about SIC is the community. I am so lucky to have found this crew; they’ve turned my solo needlepoint hobby into the absolute highlight of my week.
It’s more than just a needlepoint group to me, it’s a little community that makes me feel right at home.

I learn and grow within needlepoint is a joy especially as I continue to branch out with my designs and partnerships
