Down to Business: When cross-stitching goes from hobby to business, it’s like working in a ‘personal Disneyland’

Deb Krizek, who owns Stitchers Garden in Naperville, discusses a needlepoint project with Catherine Mulhern, of Western Springs. Mulhern said she plans to give it to her nephew. “We are a full-service needlepoint shop. We have thread, painted canvas, lots of experience to help you with your stitching needs, all sorts of stuff,” Krizek said.

“I was 100% online only from March until May . I was the only one here. I sent a daily newsletter out. People would drop their stuff off. People would mail me things, order things online. I’d pull the threads. They’d pick it up or I’d ship it out. … I was here six days a week, eight to 10 hours a day, pulling threads, packaging stuff, sending stuff. … It was a lot. I never want to go there again.”“It’s my first time here and I love coming in,” Betsy Bennett, 70, of Wheaton, said.

“Same thing. On this wall alone, there are 10 different vendors of threads. … they come out with a new thread or one we didn’t have give it a whirl.”
