What is a STITCHEE??

Meet the Mind Behind the Stitchee Collective
Hi! I’m Amanda! This little Stitchee family is my dream come true. I have been an avid stitcher since high school but has always been a bit of a solo hobby – no one I knew stitched, or even wanted to listen to me talk about it.
Fast forward to 2019 and I had this dream to CREATE the group of stitchers I wanted in my life. With a heart full of love, and creativity . . . and a LOT of coffee – the Stitchee Collective was born. I truly adore every single Stitchee and my life quite literally revolves around them! I love creating things, and making our little space on the inter-web a special one for our Stitchees.
I keep the number of Stitchees limited to ensure I can “know” each of you! I learn about where you are, your kids and pets, we celebrate your wins, and give GREAT virtual hugs when life throws you lemons. Even Mr. Stitchee knows a lot of the names in this little family of ours.
The Stitchee family has grown into something even more special than I could of ever dreamed, because each and every Stitchee is an incredible soul. I have met the most wonderful people, made some amazing friends, and we make great memories together in the Stitchee Collective.
The Stitchee Collective is all about having fun cross stitching, keeping each other inspired, motivating each other to finish those projects and celebrating our stitching accomplishments together.

Here’s what Stitchees are saying:
I love this membership, but don’t just take my word for it . . . here is what some of the member’s are saying:
I love how much lighter my wallet is and how much less free time I have with new projects always popping up 
But in all seriousness I would add that the group is a supportive family where everyone is accepted and everyone stands by each other in craft and in life.
Well what can I say.
This was the first group I joined and everyday I find something new in the hub.
Patterns, SALs, tips, videoes, and a whole group of new positive friends.
I joined this past March and am not sorry. Well worth my money.
And Amanda never sleeps bc she is quick to answer our questions.
Being a Stitchee was the best decision I could have made when it comes to cross stitching! For me, it’s so much more then free patterns or learning new things.
I have met so much amazing people in the group. People who I talk to on a daily basis. I love how no matter what time of day or night it is there always someone around to talk to. It’s so much more then just cross stitching, you get to learn about where different people come from and seeing there projects.
I love when we post what our weather is like in different parts of world. I love how you get to learn from each other.. I couldn’t be more thankful to Amanda and Shawna for all there hard work they do. I think everyone needs to join.
I love the SALs and the stitch challenges, even though I am a slow stitcher and do not get to stitch every day like most do.
Great, wonderful, and awesome group!! NO DRAMA! Friendly people, lots of fun, very informational.
I love the resources and video chats!!
This group is more than just stitchees. Its a family.
We banter, cheer each on, and lift each other up. We talk about everything – gaming, stiching, and whatever comes to mind.
Come join us…you won’t be disappointed!
It’s 100% worth every penny.
The ability to have multiple SALs, but have the ability to hop back and forth between them once your in is great. The other thing is that there’s no pressure to get them done in a specific timeframe. You complete them at your pace! If you want to skip certain parts, go for it. If you want to pause a SAL because another one is coming out, do that too!
I love the low key, zero pressure of our stitchy family. The customer service is over the moon amazing. You truly go above and beyond for all things Creatively Crafting.
The Stitchees gave me somewhere where I could forget about daily stress when my world seemed to be falling apart. This group is so supportive of eachother and came into my life right before I would need a strong support system the most.
I became a Stitchee in the fall of 2020.
During the height of the pandemic as a stay at home mom of two I rekindled my love for cross stitching. I came across the Stitchee Collective on Facebook and instantly knew that these were my people.
I have since created life long bonds with some of the people in this group. Amanda has worked hard to make this a fun and loving place to come and be yourself. I believe everyone should be a Stitchee.
I have found a new family that understands me and my hobby, We laugh, cry and rejoice together and always have an open ear for the others. And if we are not doing so well, there is at least one Stitchee who builds you up.
And never forget those wonderful stitch together.
Being in the stitchee group makes me feel like I’m part of a family of stitchers that I feel comfortable asking anything about cross stitching and get and being able to give advice and not be judged or I just feel comfortable they make you feel like you’re a part of the family.
I’ve completed more projects in the last couple months than I had in the last 2 years which is exciting! I’ve learned to be more organized with my WIPs. It’s a great group of like minded and caring crafty individuals with unique patterns to challenge even the experience stitcher.
If you love cross stitching it’s the best community you could join!
The Stitchee site has so much to offer everyone that is a part of it.
There is so much choice from stitching patterns, SAls, needle minders.
Love seeing Amanda live too!
