Hi! We’re Emma & Shelley, a mother-daughter duo who turned our love of needlepoint, and all things crafty, into The Local Stitchery.

Inspired by the places, traditions, and little things that make Chattanooga feel like home, we create needlepoint designs that celebrate the places we love. From local landmarks to hometown traditions and beyond, our goal is to bring more designs inspired by Chattanooga to you!

More about us:
- We’re both teachers! Shelley is now retired, and Emma is in her 7th year of teaching and currently teaching 2nd grade.

- We’ve both been needlepointing since 2023, and one of our favorite projects has been working together to stitch every piece of the Le Point Christmas Village! (A project that has definitely kept us busy!)

- We love planning mother-daughter trips around needlepoint shops (7 states and counting)!

- When we’re not stitching, you can usually find us reading, going on walks, or watching football and basketball.

- Besides sports, our favorite thing to watch while stitching is definitely The Great British Baking Show!


We’re so glad you’re here! Happy stitching! 🪡🤍
