About Moonlight Stitching
Deb's Story
Deb Thies, owner and mastermind behind Moonlight Stitching Studio & Sisters Retreat, grew up stitching- crocheting, knitting, cross stitching and sewing. These hobbies have taken her through various stages of her life, Deb always anticipated the rewards of hand-made items to give or keep, the instant gratification and pride in one's accomplishments and successes as well as the skill growth in the mistakes and failures. She crossed over to cross stitch when she has little ones of her own. But as soon as the kids left the nest, Deb decided to jump back on the quilting wagon. But this time her dream encompassed her three main passions: quilting, girlfriends, and food!
It's here in 2021 that Bed birthed Moonlight Stitching Studio & Sisters Retreat right in the heart of downtown West Union, Iowa. Housed in a historic 1890 building, Moonlight Stitching accommodates a retail store, private bedrooms, a full service kitchen and dining area, and so much more.
