“Barbara Story’s Story”
July 19, 2002

      Born in Los Alamos, New Mexico, Barbara Story has always had an entrepreneurial spirit. After earning her Bachelor’s degree in Music History and Literature from the University of New Mexico, Barbara went on to study cuisine at La Varenne in Paris.

     Upon graduating from culinary school Barbara cooked professionally in Boston and New York. Subsequently she was offered a position at the Bronx Zoo. “I was hired to manage the zoo’s public and private events, but I had such an affinity for marketing, I was given the opportunity to administer different programs within the department.” One of these responsibilities was licensing products for the Bronx Zoo’s Wildlife Conservation Society. It was there that Barbara was exposed to the world of merchandising.

     Around the same time, Barbara was introduced to her now-husband, the great game of golf and needlepointing. “I realized what an ideal client base country clubs have for a unique and high quality product. I wanted to combine my experience in licensing, needlepoint, and my love of golf to create an appropriate range of products for this market.” Sandwiched between the birth of her two young children, Barbara founded the company Itz a Stitch in 2001.

      Before the company’s launch, Barbara spent two years extensively researching top-of-the-line manufacturers, and developing her products. Barbara debuted the Itz a Stitch line at the 2002 PGA show in Orlando. Since that time we continue to double sales every quarter.
