About Us
Welcome Stitchery is located in Blue Earth, MN. In 2021, Justine Hougen purchased the store in Crystal Lake, IL and moved all the contents to Minnesota. In addition to new patterns, we have older patterns, a unique selection of Hardanger patterns from Hanky Panky Designs, painted canvases and other needle points, cross stitch, embroidery, Mill Hill kits, and thousands of skeins of threads from a variety of producers. We carry a variety of finishing items as well.
Welcome Stitchery hosts unique retreats throughout the year, featuring special guests, new patterns, retreat-only sales, trunk shows and lots of stitching fun! We carry exclusive patterns from designers such as Carolyn Manning, Liz Matthews, Lucy Beam, Sweet Wing Designs, Hands On Design, and Summer House Stitche Works.
Welcome Wednesday is Justine's Facebook Live event every Wednesday starting at 9:00am CST. Each week she highlights new and restocked items, shares upcoming events, and gives shout outs to everyone who says hello! Click here to follow us on Facebook to see these weekly updates.
