Stitching Steps

Stitching Steps We embroider hooded towels, shirts, pillows, beanie hats, fleece hats, blankets and more. We donate our profits to sick children and families in need.

Every stitch is a step closer....

In October 2013, I gave birth to my son Lukas. As far as we knew he was supposed to be healthy. Soon after we learned he had a rare disorder known as VACTERL. After numerous hospitalizations I decided I wanted to do something to help bring smiles to kids in the hospital. Stitching steps was created with the mission to donate our profits to make items for sick chi

ldren whether is be a cancer diagnosis or a kid preparing for surgery, we have donated to several varieties of situations. In our first year we made over 20 donations which were made possible by our customers.

The end is always bittersweet but our hearts are in a good place knowing where the remaining towels are headed.

We started our operation when Lukas was born. The ideas started running through my head while holding him as an infant in a cold empty hospital room, as his lifeless body was connected to multiple lines, and rather sick. What started off as bibs transpired to so much more. We’re eternally grateful for everyone we met and interacted with over the years.

Today we loaded up the van and the legend himself dropped off what towels were left to the Stead Family Childrens Hospital where they will be distributed to children receiving care here!

I can’t thank everyone enough for all the prayers and understanding I needed time to heal before returning to something I love to do. This gentleman gave me the clothing last summer with no time limit. I had to relearn to walk, think fast and get the right words. I lost some long term and have no short term memories. So that being said i started with relearning my memory bear pattern. It was a challenge but with each bear it got easier. As far as embroidery I need to read my manual for some directions or bombard my daughter with questions and frustrations. I will be slowly taking orders again but please be understanding on scheduling. So if you need memory bears or pillows for Christmas please start early. Thanks Jen!

Hey All 👋🏻
Erika here, many are aware from being on our personal pages but for those who aren’t, a little over 3 weeks ago my moms body decided to slip into continuous seizures which resulted in a week in a coma in the Neuro ICU. I’m happy to report she’s back home but her journey to full recovery is weeks if not months out. Just a week ago she began re learning all of life’s functions; walking, eating, etc.

She has many hours a week with physical, occupational and speech therapy. She’s on a large assortment of medications for her seizures; all of which come with side effects and her brain truly just needs rest from its trauma.

Mom is a very motivated person and in time I hope to see her back in the office however, she needs to re learn her machines and programs and currently it’s not our priority.

I hope the next post is us re opening orders but until then, have a safe summer ☀️

I believe I have touched base with current orders, if I missed you please reach out.

Much love,
Erika
