About Us

Hello, my name is Wendy and I am owner and founder of Spring Gate Stitchery. I live in Chicago and I work a typical 9-5 in healthcare. However, work is not my life and I’ve always had a passion for art. I love to paint, draw, and create with my hands. This love for art was a gateway into needlepoint.

Like many, I fell in love with fiber artistry in 2020 and felt like I found both a community and an opportunity for solace.

Quickly, however, I realized that this amazing and enthusiastic community was growing much more rapidly than the current needlepoint market could support. I found myself wanting affordable canvases that felt relevant to me. I wanted modern or more pop culture-centric designs that I could fit into my budget.

When I shared my frustrations within my community, people agreed. There was a need for modern and affordable canvas design. Since I couldn’t find a solution to this problem I did the obvious thing; began making them myself.

Our mission is to provide quality, affordable, and relevant canvasses to enthusiasts across skill levels.
