Cheers to Two Years!
It seems like I blinked and HiFi Makes is already celebrating two years and 200 posts! I couldn’t be more grateful for everyone who’s come along on this creative journey with me. Whether you’ve been here since the first post or just discovered this Substack, thank you for reading, stitching, sharing, and supporting this growing community of needlepointer. Over the past two years, we’ve explored a range of topics from favorite stitches to needlepoint organization hacks, thread lists, and even tutorials, but the mission has never changed. Informative needlepoint content in a more traditional blog-like format, that’s always available and organized by topic.
All HiFi Makes posts are available all the time to paid subscribers. Don’t miss out on tutorials, tips, and all things needlepoint!
I’ve shared 200 posts in just two years; each post written with curiosity and a love for needlepoint. Looking at the numbers, posts are split pretty evenly between stitches, finishing tutorials, and canvas thread lists with an occasional chart, printable, or project idea sprinkled in. Last year a new series, HiFi Stitches, was created to go deep on favorite needlepoint stitches by sharing videos, diagrams, and photo samples in each. If you have missed any posts, now’s a great time to browse the Directory to discover a whole host of topics and articles. This month’s ending round-up looks a little different as I instead share some of the most-loved posts from the past year:
Final Thought: I want this to be a positive space for all of us to grow and learn together. I am so appreciative of how supportive this community has been to me and am thrilled to continue to have an opportunity to share more with you! Here’s to another year!
If you have a friend that would enjoy this publication, don’t forget to share!












Congratulations on 2 years! I have found it to be fun and helpful with my needlepoint hobby.
What fun to be a part of your community!
