the Story
The name St. Clare honors the patron saint of needlework, a figure associated with clarity and devotion. She serves as a reminder that what is thoughtfully made endures.
Each St. Clare piece is designed with respect for history, symbolism, and craft. Whether played, displayed, or passed down, our work is created to last—honoring both the traditions behind it and the hands that will carry it forward.
From the Founders
St. Clare Mahjong began with a shared thread of joy through craft. Founded by Stefanie Chase, of The Joy of Needlepoint, and Cammie Mackie, a marketer by trade and designer by instinct, the studio brings together a love of needlework, design, and the symbolic language of mahjong.
We created St. Clare Mahjong to honor the artistry we love—the rhythm of needlework, the visual language of tiles, and the discipline shared by both practices. In needlework and mahjong alike, mastery comes from returning again and again—stitch by stitch, hand after hand.
Our first collection lives where heritage meets design, bringing together traditions shaped by hand and guided by meaning. Every St. Clare product reflects our respect for culture, craft, and the sense of connection formed when needles move, tiles shuffle, and people gather.
St. Clare Mahjong is a tribute—to those who stitched with care and gathered to play long before us, and to those who recognize that both needle and tile carry stories worth preserving.
Thank you for being here.
