We've been open since late May, and a few local writers have already come by to see what we're doing in Summerland. We're so grateful. Here's where you can read about us.
Noozhawk: "The Lillie Brings Needlepoint, Mahjong and a Touch of Nostalgia to Summerland"
Judy Foreman stopped in for her Noozhawk column in May. She wrote about our thread wall, the courtyard, and the needlepoint canvases we're creating with local artists. Those canvases are the part I'm most excited about: designs that feel like here. You can find them in our Lillie Exclusives.

Santa Barbara Magazine: "Ones to Watch in Carpinteria and Summerland"
Santa Barbara Magazine named us one of the new spots to watch this summer. They told the story of how The Lillie started: we brought in inventory from Ann Winn's Village Needlepoint of Montecito, so a piece of that history lives on here.
805 Living: "A Stitch in Summerland"
805 Living featured us as the new Summerland shop that brings needlepoint and mahjong together under one roof. Pick up a project, sit down for a game, or both.
Come See Us in Summerland
The Lillie is a needlepoint and mahjong shop on Lillie Ave in Summerland, just down the road from Montecito and Carpinteria. It's a place to shop, stitch, play, and stay a while.
- Hand-painted and stitch-printed needlepoint canvases, in 13 mesh and 18 mesh, plus holiday stockings and ornaments, coastal designs, and local designs you won't find anywhere else.
- Multiple thread walls, with wools, silks, and specialty threads to pull colors for your next project. Shop threads.
- Mahjong: tiles, racks, mats, and mahjong needlepoint canvases, plus game tables in the shop where you can sit down and play.
- Classes and events for brand-new stitchers and lifelong ones. New to needlepoint? Start with Needlepoint 101 and our beginner-friendly canvases.
Come stitch with us, pull threads with us, or just sit on the patio. We'd love to meet you.
