Cyber Class

I know everyone is stuck home and missing the shop desperately.  I miss you all too!  It’s quite lonely here all by myself. But, I’ve got a great solution to our isolation issues.  Let’s have a virtual class over Zoom!

If you haven’t Zoomed with anyone yet, it’s SO much fun!  I Zoomed with some of the girls from the shop this week and with my mom and my sister last night.  Virtual cocktail hour is a blast!  It’s super easy.  You can do it on your phone, iPad or computer.  All you have to do is download the FREE app or make sure you are using Google Chrome as your browser to access it from your computer.  Make sure you allow it to access your microphone and camera.  I’ll email you the invitation to join the class meeting and we’ll all be on the same screen together.  I can see clearly what your working on and you can see my demonstrations clearly.

So, I have 8 kits ready to go for this darling little piece.

I was planning on teaching this at the shop, but I guess the world had other plans.  If you want to participate in the FREE class, since you all would be the guinea pigs, call the shop to order your kit today or tomorrow so I can send them out to you for the virtual class next Friday, April 3rd at 3.  Class will be about an hour or so once we get everyone situated.

You can also order your kit online and let me know if you want to participate in the class.

We all better get cracking on our Christmas projects because the finishing deadline will be here before we know it!

 

I Started It…You Finish It

You all loved this sale last year when I cleaned out my office at home.  Here it is again!  I’ve been cleaning out my house since I’m stuck there so much like everyone else.  All of these pieces I started and know I will never finish.  I hate to see unfinished pieces and I hope these go to a new home that will finish them.

Refer to the frame number ABOVE the canvas when you call or email to order.  The prices are on the canvases and you should be able to read them.  A few you might have to enlarge the picture.

Beautiful Ladies Club

We have a new club to tempt you!  The Beautiful Ladies Club from Vallerie Needlepoint Gallery.

There are four canvases in total.  Each one is 4 x 4 on 18 mesh.  The club starts in April 2020.  That means we’ll be shipping as soon as we get the threads in.  Gotta keep everyone stitching while we’re stuck at home! The best part of joining one of our clubs is that the stitch guide is FREE for club members

 

You’ll learn how to create these amazing hair styles that you can apply to any canvas.  I think of myself now as an amateur hair stylist but with thread and tiny scissors.

 

You can call the shop to sign up or sign up online.  I’ll be in the shop for as long as I’m allowed.

New Designs

I just got my website for Vallerie Needlepoint Gallery updated with most of my new designs. A few haven’t come back from the painters so they are missing, but the bulk is up and ready to tempt you!

Be sure to hop over and check it out!

New clutch bags!

New boxes with inserts!

I had so much fun creating these designs. Such a bummer our show has been hopefully only postponed.

Curbside Pickup Only Starting Next Week

While we have been taking every precaution regarding our health and yours, we have decided to shut our doors next week until we receive information that things are calming down.
We will be open extended hours tomorrow, Saturday the 14th, from 10-5 so you can stock up on all your stitching supplies in case there is a lockdown.
BUT!!!!!!
We will be offering curbside pickup while our doors are closed. Just give us a call and we can take care of whatever you need and we will leave it right outside our door in the vestibule.
We will be answering the phone during our regular business hours during this time.

Stay safe and healthy and try to relax.  Channel your fears and anxiety into something positive like your stitching.
Our online sale will continue through the 17th.  So, start looking at something happy like needlepoint and a little less at the news.  I know needlepoint makes me happy!
Happy Stitching!

New Stuff

I couldn’t wait to share these new self finishing boxes with all of you!

The boxes are about 5 x 6 and are perfect for little trinkets or your scissors and stitching stuff.

Mix and match the canvases with your favorite color box!

These are available through my wholesale line, Vallerie Needlepoint Gallery and can be ordered by any shop.

I’m Sorry to Say . . .

 The Spring Needlepoint Show has been cancelled or hopefully postponed. It was such a great show last year, especially being a brand new show. I was looking forward to exhibiting and buying there again this year, but this is what is the safest option.

This is such a bummer since I’ve been working for the last six months on new designs and new stitched pieces. But don’t worry, you’ll see all the new designs when the time is right.

As for The Enriched Stitch, we are still currently open for business, cleaning the shop religiously, and our sale continues both in store and online.

I won’t be planning a big anniversary bash on the 17th, social distancing and all. But we’ll celebrate when this passes.

So, stay tuned for updates.

We’re all worried about what is going on in the world right now. The best thing you can do is lay low at home and stitch. Bring that blood pressure down by stitching. The meditative aspect of needlework will calm your entire system which is the best thing you can do for yourself to stay healthy.

Anniversary Sale! 20% off Entire Store and Online Store

We’re turning 8 on St. Patrick’s Day and we’re starting our sale a little early because we’re headed to Orlando for the Spring Needlepoint Show on the 20th.

Pretty Packages Club

I’ve been teasing everyone on Facebook about a new club.  Here it is!

It was so much fun designing, painting and then stitching these pieces.  I can’t wait to get them back from the finisher.

Kim at the shop stitched the “Designer Packages” and the “Mackenzie Packages.”

 

How stinkin’ cute is the bow she tied onto the beaded tea pot?!

Kim is going to finish these as flat coasters so she can slide them into the 5 x 5 acrylic box.

I stitched the “Tiffany Packages” and the “Lily Packages.”

This piece was so hard to photograph.  All the crystals just don’t show up right.  This piece has got some serious bling going on!  This one is going to be a standup.  I can’t wait to see how my favorite finisher decorates the topper on the piece.

Wait till you see the Lily Packages when they come back from the finisher.  I bought Lily fabric online for the back of the pillow.  There’s green fabric on the front of the pillow that matches the background perfectly. (Thank you, Linda)  And then to top it off, I found hot pink pom pom trim.  It’s going to be adorable!

Here’s how the club works.  There’s four canvases in total and they are 5 x 5 on 18 mesh.  The club starts in March.  We’ve got canvases in stock and ready to go.  We’re just waiting for threads to come in.

You can call the shop to sign up or click here to sign up online.

We hope you join us for another fun and fabulous club from The Enriched Stitch!
