Our Story

Stitch Sloth was created to solve a problem so many needlepoint stitchers know all too well: keeping track of everything.

Our founder, Ilene, grew up needlepointing throughout her youth, teens, and college years. Several years after taking a break, she returned to stitching and quickly fell back in love with the creative, calming process. But this time, something felt different.

With more projects, more fibers, and more inspiration than ever before, she wanted a better way to organize her needlepoint life. She found herself trying to track project details in notebooks, scattered notes, and spreadsheets, logging stitches used, fibers purchased, where canvases were bought, and when pieces were sent out for finishing. It was time-consuming, incomplete, and far from seamless.

That’s when the idea for Stitch Sloth was born.

Her love affair with needlepoint began with a serendipitous step into a local needlepoint store, where she found her zen. Ever the organizer, Ilene saw an opportunity to blend her needlepoint, social media, and organizational skills to serve the needlepoint community.
