About The Gathering Stitch

Meet Our Exclusive Designers!

Mallory B Collective

Hey y’all! I’m Mallory Kate, a Statesboro, GA local and a sophomore at Georgia Southern University. I’m actively involved in Young Life, a Christian organization where I help lead high schoolers closer to the Lord.

When I’m not doing that, you can usually find me playing pickleball, spending time with friends, or tucked away in my craft corner. I’ve always loved all things creative, especially painting. My mom inspired me to start painting needlepoint canvases when she discovered her own love for needlepointing.

Brooke Osborne

Hi, I’m Brooke! I’m married to my husband Brent (we tied the knot in 2018), and we have two kids, Carson and Will. I truly love watching my children grow and learn new things, it’s one of my greatest joys.

In my free time, I love to travel and thrift for hidden treasures. I’ve been needlepointing for just over a year and enjoy creating pieces that are meaningful; whether they celebrate local memories or mark special yearly milestones for myself and my friends.

Funny enough, I originally picked up needlepoint because I needed something to keep my hands busy while listening to audiobooks, and it quickly turned into something I truly love.

Avery Catterton

Hey Y’all, I’m Avery! I am currently a graphic design major at Georgia Southern University. I am from the Lowcountry of South Carolina and love all things coastal and outdoors. In my free time I love baking, hunting, playing guitar and spending time with loved ones. 


I am a very crafty person and enjoy having my hands in a million different hobbies. I have always loved painting and now get to mix it with my new love for needlepoint!

Caroline Upchurch

Hi, I’m Caroline — a Georgia Southern Double Eagle who met my husband, Garrett, in Statesboro and now happily calls Stilson home. I first learned about needlepoint from a family member in elementary school and have returned to it on and off ever since.

Two years ago, I began painting my own canvases and quickly fell in love with the creative side of the craft.

I’m a twin mom to my IVF miracle boys, and we’re a farming and hunting family through and through. Because of that, I tend to design hunting-inspired canvases, bringing an outdoor perspective to all things needlepoint.

Madeline Bonner

Hey y'all! I'm Madeline. I’m the social media and web designer behind the brand, bringing our online presence to life. I’m a proud University of Georgia graduate (Go Dawgs!) with a degree in Marketing, which fuels my love for building engaging, intentional digital spaces.

I discovered needlepoint about two years ago and quickly fell in love with the creativity, calm, and community it brings. I’ve always been a serial hobbyist when it comes to all things craft, but Needlepoint has been the one that truly stuck.

When I’m not stitching, you’ll find me traveling the world, playing with my two pugs, or at TJ Maxx looking for a steal of a deal.

Meet Kirby

Kirby is our four-year-old Parti Yorkie and the heart of the shop. Weighing just three pounds on a good day (especially after a treat), she may be tiny, but her energy and bark say otherwise.

Named after Kirby Smart, she’s our best girl and the favorite of just about every shopper who walks through the door. Kirby loves greeting customers, supervising stitching, and making sure everyone feels right at home.

If you see a little shadow at your feet or hear a tiny bark, you’ve found Kirby, doing what she does best.
