Continental Stitch
Welcome to Continental Stitch! We are a retail store with a full line of cross stitch, knitting, and needlepoint designs and supplies. The shop first opened in 1978. At that time I, (Shirley Todd, proprietor), myself was a customer, then became a partner, and now am sole owner. I am supported by a wonderful staff of 2 talented women, Patty & Carol.
