Who We Are

In April of 2023, four creative Artisans came together and opened The Stitch 'n Bead. Two seamstresses and embroidery Artisans, Shari Hale and Pat McAdams, one gemstone bead jewelry Artisan, Cristina Salvatore, and Cindi McGee, a mixed-media Artisan offering etched glass, handmade soap and spa items, candles, and polymer clay designs. Dennis Boyle's wood creations are now part of our boutique - Charcuterie boards, cutting boards, game boards, clocks, and so much more. And, we are also thrilled to announce that Diana Johnson is now a core member of our team. In addition to her beautiful art cards, we offer a lovely assortment of her original framed art. Diana also offers custom pet portraits. We will be reviewing our Guest Artisan program for 2026 so stay tuned for updates and future opportunities to be a part of our boutique. You never know what you'll find here, as each week (and sometimes each day!) the variety of creative gifts and accessories changes!
