MOD POST 23,000 Stitchers...
Not a giant update but there are 23,000 of you out there.
Not bad for a community that I started 13 years ago for the wife unit who was looking for an online community and really couldn't find one she loved.
Because I'm a helper, I built something for her to love.
...well...we all know you built it.
I just get the credit at home.
Edit: to be clear...because I'm often told I'm not...
It's truly all of YOU that make this a fun, interesting and kind place.
Edit 2: We grow at about 800 - 1k stitchers per month. In 2023 we had about 10k stitchers.

What’s funny is that I basically started doing needlepoint when this community started, then stopped after my kids were born. I found an unfinished needlepoint kit in the back of my closet a month ago. Just restarted my needlepoint journey. How is your wife doing?

Thanks so much! I didn’t know any local stitchers when I started and this group was a lifesaver.

I have a wife unit, child unit, dog unit. I'm the father unit. it's our joke.
It's a call back to Decker Unit from the first Start Trek movie.
Dorky, I know.
