Every year my husband and I throw a party for my birthday.  Obviously we can’t do that this year.  We also do something special in the shop and I’ve been racking my brain of how we can do that and still keep our distance.  So . . .here’s my plan.

This Thursday, September 24th (the greatest day

of the year lol) you can get 1 full priced canvas

at 42% off!

I bet you can guess my age. LOL!

This is offer is only for in store in person purchases.  But don’t worry my long distance friends, I’ve got something special planned for you soon.

We’re still only allowing three customers in the shop at a time so you may have to wait outside in the vestibule.  But it will be worth the wait!

Here’s a few canvases to tempt you.  But, you know we have hundreds of canvases in the shop.

  My customers mean so much to me.  I’d love to see you on my special day!

Looking for a quick stitch and to learn a few new things?  Then check out this little heart I stitched.  The stitch guide is below.  The best part is that it’s on 13 mesh!  We have a few of these kits in stock.

  Call the shop to order or shop online.

I hate saying goodbye to summer. The easy mornings without the mad dash for school, spending time on our boat, and so much fun in the sun. But, summer is winding down and I’ll have to look forward to my pumpkin spice lattes and fall clothes.

For those of you who love summer as much as I do, here are a bunch of summer canvases that are 25% off that you can stitch all year long and think of summer.

If you’re not familiar with Kristine Kingston’s designs, she has a whimsical yet elegant feel to her work.

Kristine and I got to know each other years ago at the Dallas trade show. We bonded over the lounge singer that started playing really loudly at 7:30 in the morning that woke up the entire hotel. Good thing they’ve moved him to the 5 o’clock time slot during cocktail hour!

I love the hashtag designs and she does so many personalized pieces that are great for gifts. Take a look for yourself!

As with all of our trunk shows, the canvases are 20% off as are special orders. And…as a bonus you receive 10% off the threads when we kit up your piece.

I’ll post more from the show but this should be enough to tempt you for now!

It’s been a year unlike any other with everything going on in the world.  Good thing we have our needlepoint to keep us sane!  As much as we might want to forget that 2020 ever happened, there’s been so great canvases to come out of the pandemic.  Here are a few of my favorites.

Rebecca Wood designed this wildly popular piece based off of her famous reindeer.

I had so many requests for a stitch guide.

Rebecca recently followed up with a Santa wearing a mask.  So new the paint was still wet when she posted it!  I have a ton of them on order and expect them in a week or so.  If you preorder your canvas by Sunday August 30th you will receive the stitch guide for free!

I designed a few pieces with this year in mind.  Who knew that when I designed this piece back in Janaury that it would mean so much more than just commemorating the year?

This seems to be the catch phrase of the year.  Despite what it’s in reference to, it’s actually a really nice thing to say to people.  You can find this in our online store.

I designed the nurse/doctor heart well over a year ago, not knowing how much it would mean to people this year.  Two of my sisters are nurses so I had them in mind when I designed this.

Since that one was so popular, I did another one with the sinus rhythm.

Sometimes when I’m trying to finish a piece and I’m at that point where mentally I’m done with it but the holes aren’t plugged up yet, I sing this little song to the tune from “Finding Nemo” to myself.  I know everyone has been stitching up a storm over the last few months so I thought I’d do a whimsical piece to commemorate the year.

Despite all the changes that have come crashing down on us over the last few months, a lot of good things have come out of it.  Spending more time with family, unplugging a bit and finding some much needed time to relax at home.  Gotta look on the bright side!

It’s been sweltering here in Connecticut over the last few days. Not unexpected since it’s July. I don’t know about you, but I love to stitch in season. I rarely get to do it since I’m always stitching something for an upcoming class or a new model for a show so I usually stitch autumn in the Spring or Winter in the Summer.

But I’ve been taking a little time to stitch something for myself, which is rare. So I picked out a new piece from the Cooper Oaks trunk show that I just fell in love with.

I’ve stitched a few Cooper Oaks pieces over the years.

This is one of the first pieces I ever stitched.

This one I branched our with a background stitch for the sky.

I can’t wait to get started on the flowers. There’s gonna be a ton of ribbon so I can make all sorts of pretty flowers.

But, I have to trudge through finishing up the sand first. Good thing I’ve got something good to binge watch.

The Cooper Oaks trunk show is in the shop through Saturday and then it has to head back. So, if you’re looking for a summery piece to stitch, now’s the time! All trunk show canvases are 20% off and if we kit it for you the threads are 10% off.

I just love summer…don’t you?

Sometimes you just need a quick, happy stitch and this piece was it for me!

If you know me at all, you know how much I love hydrangeas.

I used some really cool overdye ribbon from Treenway Silks to create the flowers.  There’s three different techniques in this piece so that the individual blooms are distinguishable.  I just love working with ribbon.  I can’t wait to show you the next piece from Cooper Oaks that I’m working on!

This is our newest online class which will be on August 5th 1-2:30

You can order your kit online or by calling the shop! 203-210-5107
