Needles & Nuances

About Needles & Nuances

We’re Lillian and Kelsey, and we’re obsessed with needlepoint. We met in college when we both pledged Kappa Kappa Gamma at the University of South Carolina (Go Gamecocks!) and we’ve been attempting to age gracefully since graduating too many years ago. Now, we’re both full-time working moms with young children and a passion for the Grandmillennial lifestyle, all the while making sure we make time for ourselves. Once we no longer lived close to each other, we turned to constant texting and social media to share our project updates, work woes, and parenting highs and lows. We wanted to create a community that felt accessible to stitchers of all levels and lifestyles. Our goal is to provide you with relatable, attainable content and inspiration for your projects. We’ll talk stitching tips from how to get started, all the way to your white whales and everything in between- and, of course, how we attempt to balance it all. So come along and stitch with us!
