Not Your Mimi's Needlepoint...
A new generation of needlepoint starts here
Fun Comes First
We say we're not your Mimi's needlepoint for a reason. We believe this hobby is meant to be fun, personal, and a little playful.
Everyone Has a Seat
Whether you're picking up a needle for the first time or you've been stitching for years, you're welcome here. Mimi's is a place to show up as your authentic self and feel right at home.
More Than a Needlepoint Shop
Through classes, events, and everyday moments in the shop, we're creating a place to gather, connect, and make memories that last. Come sit and stitch awhile.
We're Amelia & Madeline, a pair of cousins who happen to share a nickname—Mimi.
After discovering a shared love for needlepoint, we founded a Dallas, TX brick-and-mortar needlepoint store to bring fun, modern designs to the stitching community.
Not only do we carry your favorite designers, but also our in-house canvas line, which combines a little bit of southern sass and personality. It’s not your Mimi’s needlepoint…except, well, it is because that’s our nickname. You get it.
Meet Amelia
I was born and raised in East Texas, went to college at Ole Miss, and now live in Lake Highlands with my husband, our Boykin Spaniel, and two rescue pups. By trade, I’m a CPA with a career rooted in finance and strategic planning—but outside of spreadsheets, I’ve always craved a creative outlet.
Designing, painting, and stitching canvases is where I get to balance the numbers with something more colorful. At Mimi’s, I’m the main designer behind our line of canvases, and I love bringing a mix of personality, tradition, and modern style into each one. For me, needlepoint is about the joy of creating something with your hands and being part of a community that shares in the craft.
Meet Madeline
A proud University of Oklahoma graduate, I spent eight years in New York and now call the Bishop Arts neighborhood home with my husband and our two long-haired mini dachshunds, Finnegan and Murphy. Before starting Mimi’s, I built my career in magazines, PR, and events—working at brands like D Magazine, Glamour Magazine, Daniel Wellington, Bespoke Post, and more. That experience gave me a love for creativity, storytelling, and the importance of building community.
I fell in love with needlepointing as a way to slow down and create something—and even more, I fell in love with the people I met through it. Mimi’s was born out of that passion: a modern, welcoming space for all stitchers to come together, share in the craft, and feel part of a creative community.
