6 Little Stitches is owned and run by Joyce Strickland, who named the shop for her six grandchildren. For Joyce, sewing has always been about more than fabric and thread — it has been a way to care for and support the family she loves.
Today, Joyce continues doing what she has done for decades: working with her hands, taking care of her family, and giving her customers quality work at fair, old-fashioned prices.
