Dear Needlepointers,

After five wonderful years in Montecito, I am writing to share that I will be retiring and Village Needlepoint will be closing its doors on March 28, 2026. It has been a true joy to be part of your creative lives and to see your projects come to life.

While I am moving on to my next adventure, our stitching community is in excellent hands. I am thrilled to announce that The Lillie will open this May at 2474 Lillie Avenue in Summerland. Lacey has purchased my inventory and is creating a beautiful new space for us all to gather.

I encourage you to visit www.thelillie.comto join their mailing list for opening updates. Thank you for your friendship over the years. I look forward to seeing you in the threads at the new shop soon.

With gratitude,

Ann Winn
