I have a couple of pins from Stitch Buffalo. I love them, and I wish I was rich so I could buy out the whole store. I've never worn the pins and NOT gotten at least two or three compliments on them. Many people recognize them as being from Stitch Buffalo. Thank you for everything you do. - John Carocci

On the grayest Buffalo day walking into Stitch Buffalo is a burst of color. The extraordinarily gifted refugee artist’s work fills every corner. It’s amazing and energizing and just plain fun. Such a welcoming, empowering and supportive environment. I’m grateful to be part of this community and thankful it exists.

I could not love this organization more. Their products are amazing and unique and beautiful and well made. In addition, you know that everything you buy is helping newcomers to our country support their families. Finally the materials are sustainable and reused. The classes are fun and affordable. They get all the stars!!!!

As a craft maker and recycler, I have appreciated Stitch Buffalo's monthly sales. Fabrics, tools and notion are sold at deeply discounted prices. It is great that these materials are kept out of the landfill. And the affordability of textiles means I can express a personal creativity.

Every item I have purchased online has taken my breath away in person … so many details, the crafting, and passion that goes into the items is absolutely astonishing! I am proud to own heart pins, pillows, scarf, house blessings, and many ornaments. When I was lucky enough to visit the store in person, I purchased crochet hooks and yarn for an elementary school crafting class. The staff at the store are warm and welcoming!

When an organization includes, empower and on top of that produces beautiful and quality handcrafted pieces. It is not only doing well, it is making the world a better place by preserving art that will be lost if not passed down to younger generations, by creating respect for culture and for individual that not always look like oneself.

Stitch Buffalo has had such a positive impact on our Buffalo community. Not only is it a wonderful resource for the talented artisans it works with, but SB also enriches the wider community in many ways. For example, personally I’ve had the pleasure of enjoying SB artwork at a local museum, participating in a family craft event at its site, and I intend to take classes there this year. I am also a happy customer of the SB store, and have gifted their gorgeous works of art to many a happy recipient. Stitch Buffalo weaves the talents and cultures of a diverse group of women into the local community, and Buffalo continues to be enriched by its work.

Stitch Buffalo is the home of gifted artists and the kindest folks. Everyone associated with this organization gives 120% of themselves. I’ve never visited without being awestruck at the talent and beautiful works created there. The classes are very fun and community-building. Second Stitch sales are a wonderful experience. I’ve found countless treasures for my own needle-crafting at unbelievable prices along with all of the good energy that is such a huge part of the Stitch experience. It is so many things to so many people! A++ for empowering women!
