Who's behind YAYstitch and why was it built?

Hi I'm Georgi and welcome to YAYstitch!

Who am I?

I'm an Aussie in sunny Meanjin/Brisbane. Before YAYstitch I spent 10+ years as a software engineer in Brooklyn — at GitHub and Slack.

YAYstitch is where my two loves — coding and quilting — come together. Explore patterns, curate your own fabric pulls, and search a growing, community-driven database of fabrics and collections.

Why did I create YAYstitch?

I created YAYstitch because I believe quilters deserve a digital home that truly understands their craft—and more importantly, a genuinely welcoming space, unlike so many online platforms today. In a world where social media can feel divisive and draining, YAYstitch is intentionally designed as a positive, creative sanctuary for our quilting community.Whether you're looking to organize your fabric collection, browse ideas for your next creation, or want to connect with fellow quilters, YAYstitch brings organization and creativity to your quilting world.
