Who We Are
The secret stitching society is a community of positive makers, meeting on the universal ground of creativity. Come on, let's make something beautiful!
Kim is the founder of the Secret Stitching Society.
She is a writer, humorist, storyteller, public speaker and avid maker.
Embroidery, pattern design, knitting, and wool applique usually fill her project bags. She can also be found in her studio working with a paintbrush in hand or writing.
Her very favorite thing? Creating spaces for creative women to gather. ​ Kim believes there is great power when women connect in a safe place.

She can be found online at www.kimisfunny.com and on Instagram @kim_broidery

Barb is not only kind but also a get 'er done kind of person.
Have a job that needs done? Barb blows it out of the park.
​
In 2019 Barb walked into our (now closed) yarn shop and told one of our teachers, Ashley (who was wearing a pirate outfit for Halloween), that she wanted to learn to knit or crochet. She fell in love with knitting and that's all they wrote
She has grown into a stellar knitter!
​
Barb has been married for 37 years, has 2 sons and 6 grandchildren. Barb loves to cook because of the joy it brings people.​​​
