How did The Coastal Stitching Society Come About?
-
In late 2022, we began talking to stitchers & saw that there were so many who wanted to create their own needlepoint lines but didn't know where to start or didn't have time.
-
Because of this, we decided to start the coastal stitching society: a separate company outside of MJD which will house new and/or established artists who want to focus solely on designing, while leaving the rest to us.
-
We take pride in the quality of our work and our commitment to excellence as we know this is the key to building a lasting brand and a thriving community.
