A member of the Middleburg community since 1990, Rose started with cross-stitch and has been a convert to needlepoint for over 20 years.

In her professional life, Rose always had a project in her purse. Seeing the “creative accountant” in action, some of her colleagues enlisted her to teach them how to needlepoint. 

This knack for teaching — and sharing the therapeutic benefits of needlepoint — is on full display in Rose’s role at Stitch.

Haven purchased her first needlepoint project from Stitch years ago.  She loved the craft so much she taught herself — with a YouTube assist — and has been a devotee ever since, even winning first prize at Woodlawn Needlework Show.  

Stitch has been a central part of Haven’s life since she moved to Middleburg. Wednesday Night Stitch has led to many friendships within the community.

Lizzie, under the guidance of her mother Rose, quickly fell in love with needlepoint.

She finds that needlepoint is a wonderful source of stress relief from her full-time nursing job at a local hospital and a great creative outlet.
