It’s a gorgeous Spring day here at The Enriched Stitch!  I’m looking forward to cocktails later tonight on our boat.  First time this season!

Speaking of cocktails . . .Mary Susan and Linda stitched this little Maggie piece together to add to their “bar needlepoint” collection.  It’s only a 5 x 5 piece but look what they did with it!

The tail feathers are AMAZING! Love the crystal to dot the I.  And I’m in love with the stitch they used for the breast.

If you’re looking for a fun project then this is it!  We have four kits in stock and then that’s it for a while until our painting services get back up and running at full capacity.

You can call the shop to order or order online!

Our Painted Pony Angels trunk show is still going on.  I promised I would post the rest of the angels we received and here they are in all their cuteness!

All trunk show canvases are 20% off now through May 30th and if you want us to pull threads for the canvases the threads are 10% off.  You know how this works by now.  The frame number is UNDER the picture.

Please email directly at enrichedstitch@gmail.com to order or inquire about the canvases.  I’d hate to miss any of your emails!  Or drop us a line! 203-210-5107

They are all so cute!  I have a few picked out for myself!

Another fun installment for you!

For all you cardinal lovers out there (including me)!  This design from 3K is 8 1/2 x 11 on 18 mesh.

If I were to stitch this, I would skip stitch the background with one strand of Impressions to keep it light.  The birch trees I would do Horizontal Brick Stitch over 2 with Straw Silk, changing colors to follow the painting.

I’ve stitched a lot of cardinals and try to do them differently each time.  I would do angled Satin Stitch or Fly Stitch for the tail feathers.  I would do Open Nobuko for the body of the bird with 4 strands of red Splendor.  The wings I would do Criss-Cross Hungarian with red Splendor.  He’s such a happy bird!

The cardinal kit with the threads is $188.45

This is a new piece of mine available through Vallerie Needlepoint Gallery.  I designed it to fit in my new self finishing boxes where all you do is pop it in and your done and there’s glass on top to protect it.

I would do Alicia’s Lace  over 2 with 2 strands of Soie d’Alger for the background.  The little ladybugs have to be beaded!  You could bead the letters, as well, or tent stitch them if beading isn’t your thing.

The canvas is about 4 x 5 on 18 mesh.  The canvas and threads are $78.70. The box is $80

It definitely feels like 5 o’clock somewhere all the time these days!  How fun would this be in your collection of bar needlepoint?

I would tent stitch the glass, clock hands and numbers with the pictured threads.  The background would be fun in Pepper Pot (not sure why I have Gloriana in the picture too) in Woven Stitch. I would do a wrapped chain stitch for the silver outline with Kreinik.

  This canvas is 6 inches round on 13 mesh. The kit is $108.

We still have this gorgeous tree kit in stock.  It is 14 x 14 on 18 mesh and the kit is $207.70

I think everyone is having a hard time envisioning the background I see on this piece.  It would be similar to the background I did on Harvest Moon.

I’ll have another installment of this coming soon!

For anyone who missed the original sign up for Melissa Prince’s Reindeer and Cardinal class, it’s not too late!

We FINALLY got all the threads in for the piece so now I can set a date for the class.  The online Zoom class will be Monday May 18th from 1-3.

We have three kits left in stock so don’t wait!  You can call the shop or order online

You’ll learn a cool technique for the antlers, how to applique the green glitter felt, tons of new stitches and how fun are the tassels on the scarf?

I can’t wait until I can get to a fabric store again to pick everything out to make this into a fabulous pillow!

The angels have arrived! And one is cuter than the next!

I have to admit…I’ve never stitched an angel but I think that’s about to change!

Here’s pictures of half of what received in the trunk show. I’ll post the rest of the trunk show later this week.

As with all of our trunk shows, the canvases are 20% off and the threads for those canvases are 10% off!

You know the drill by now. Refer to the picture below the frame number when you call or email to order.

We usually do our finishing sale in June, but I’ve decided to push it up this year to help with what will be an overwhelming amount of finishing that will be pouring in once we are all released from our homes.

All finishing dropped off or mailed in during the month of May will be 10% off!  And, as an added bonus, any finishing that we received during April will also be 10% off.

Be sure to include your contact info when you drop off or mail in so our finishing department (aka Mary Susan) can contact you to go over your finishing.

You can download our finishing form by clicking here. Fill it out the best your can or simply put a question mark and we’ll talk to you about it.

We can’t wait to see all of your finished pieces!
