What a day! We can’t believe how many of you participated in Stitch People Day. The amount of giving and love and sharing and kindness we saw was just overwhelming. It gave us so much hope for the future.
We wish we should share every one of your Stitch People Day images but there’s not enough room! That just goes to show how amazing the day was. Instead, we’ll share today just some of the beautiful pieces we saw and some of the highlights of the day.
We started the day with a stitching playlist! Filled with jams that you recommended to us or that we just love, the Stitch People Day Playlist is filled with top tunes for stitching (or wiggling your booty) to.
We introduced our Sentiments collection, which is a set of patterns designed to fit on a 5″ x 7″ card. You can stitch up a card for someone’s birthday, to say thank you, to cheer them up if they’re unwell or just because you’re thinking of them!
Did you miss them? No problem, you can download the patterns here.
During the day, we shared a bunch of amazing giveaways from our friends at Fat Quarter Shop, DMC, Auburn Hoops, Easy Street Crafts and Cloth and Twig!
Our Stitch People Day partners were also super generous with donations of 15% off cross-stitch supplies from Fat Quarter Shop and beautiful handmade goods from Cloth and Twig.
Towards the end of the day, Lizzy went live to chat all about Stitch People Day. Warning, there’s some tears involved!
Throughout the day, the best thing happened. You guys flooded us with images and videos of the gifts you had given for Stitch People Day. Here are just a few of the hundreds that we saw.
@tonis_stitch Happy Stitch People Day! I couldn’t get a photo of them receiving it but this the message I received. This was one of my first portraits for the first friends we made when we moved from London to Texas.

@ashleyinstitches Here is my 90 years young Grandma with my very first stitch people I made and gifted to her! 
@mcgonigal32 Nana loved her birthday present! 
@feathersandfloss Happy #stitchpeopleday! My #stitchpeopleday project is a thank you gift for one of my resident friends I work with. She got my mom on the schedule to see a great surgeon to fix her previous surgery issue. My mom is doing great now and I have her to thank for that. I haven’t been able to get the stitch to her quite yet since her rotation doesn’t line up with my shift right now but hopefully she’ll get it tonight or tomorrow. 
@dee_dennis Happy #stitchpeopleday friends! Just in time for the celebration, I finished my largest house to date 
@shelliedeestitches Happy Stitch People Day! I love creating stitch portraits and sending them off to their forever homes. It’s like sending a hug in the mail with love in every stitch. 
@KristyMcCoy Happy #stitchpeopleday. This is the gift I made for my MIL. 48 people and 3 dogs 
@crossstitchbycait Happy Stitch People Day!! I loved stitching this portrait for a dear friend & her dog, Squatty! 
@ToniStroud I wanted my granddaughter Lillian to have something inspirational and we both are inspired by Ruth Bader Ginsburg #stitchpeopleday 
@RachaelFallaha I finally gave my little stitch nurse to our real life nurse! She loves it and it makes me SO happy. (Reaction shared with permission) 
@amandabush Stitched and gifted this to my sis and bro in law #stitchpeopleday This is the pic they sent me – it was my first stitch people design. #stitchpeople 
@sarabrown My first 4 stitch people! Bought the book so I could make everyone presents! 
@MelindaSkinnerNorvell My first gift was to my online bootcamp instructor! She made a Facebook story about how much she loved it. 
@NatalieBryant I’m excited to pass this little note off to our postal person tomorrow. #stitchpeopleday was such a great inspiration to find a way to say thank you! I’ve had way more packages come through the mail during this pandemic then normally would.
Want to see more? We don’t blame you! Just search #stitchpeopleday on Instagram, Facebook, or the Stitch People Facebook Community.
We have to take a minute to say a HUGE thank you to our needleworking partners who made this day so successful! Please take a second to click through to their websites and check out the amazing stitching wares they proved to our craft loving community. Even better, drop them a line and tell them what you love!
But most of all thank YOU! We wouldn’t have a Stitch People without you. We are forever proud and amazed by the contribution each of you makes to our community everyday. Thank you for everything you are.
As ever, with love and appreciation
Lizzy, Spencer and the Stitch People Team!
Thank you for a great day. It was great to see everyone’s stitches for Stitch People Day. Can’t wait to see what is coming up next.
