Hi, I’m Karin.

After 40 years in oncology nursing and serving in nursing leadership, I know firsthand how important it is to care for the whole person through mind, body and spirit.

During my years in nursing, I met a dear friend and fellow oncology nurse, Damian Dohrety, who also happened to be a master stitcher. She introduced me to needlepoint and taught me everything she knew. What began as a friendship and a shared creative hobby grew into a lifelong love of stitching.

When Damian passed away from breast cancer 20+ years ago, the creativity and self-care she had introduced me to became even more meaningful. Needlepoint became a way to slow down, focus, and make space for something joyful.

Then in 2019, I faced my own cancer journey.

Through all of it, I came to understand even more deeply the value of having something that brings you back to yourself.

Redwood Coast Stitchery grew from that understanding.

I wanted to create a place where people could find beautiful things to make, learn something new, connect with others, and simply take some time to slow down.

Whether you’ve been stitching for years or have never picked up a needle before, I hope you’ll feel welcome here.
