As I’ve been decorating for Christmas, I realized I just don’t have enough Christmas needlepoint.  Probably because most of it lives at the shop.  So I’ve decided that next year I need to add these pieces to my collection.

Angel Tree Topper

Advent Tree

I started the Melissa Shirley Thimble Nativity.  Only 11 more pieces to go!

I still plan on dating my boyfriend by Amanda Lawford

I desperately need something to hold my Christmas cards. Every year I say this.  Maybe the Mustang by Raymond Crawford.

And most importantly, I need to stitch a ton of ornaments.  It’s just too much work to move my needlepoint tree from the store to my house.  Who has the time for that?  Easier just to stitch more!

We’ve decked the halls and are ready to celebrate!

Join us this Saturday, December 14th, for our annual holiday party and sale!

All in stock canvases 20% off

Everyone will receive a door prize.

All shipped orders will come with a gift bag of goodies.

Happy Holidays

Last Thursday, a wonderful group of 11 women took a field trip to the shop.  Caryl, their fearless leader, is a needlepoint teacher of over 100 students in Rhode Island. They arrived by coach in the morning and stay for most of the day.  Lunch was delivered, followed by a lecture I presented about how to select stitches.

They had a blast!

Everyone enriched their stash.

Can’t wait for them to come back!

The boy bunny is finished!  My son likes this one much better than the pink “girl” bunny.  I love both of them.

Buttonhole on a bar is my new favorite technique.  Don’t worry, I’ll break the stitch down step by step, just like I do with Turkey Work.

The club starts in January.  If you join soon, we’ll do our best to get you into the first shipment.

Club consists of 4 canvases that ship quarterly.  $95 per canvas.  Includes the stitch guide.  Thread kits additional.

Melissa Shirley has outdone herself.  Becki and I can’t wait to get this beautiful canvas on bars.

Too bad we have to wait until February.

We will be stitching this piece together.  Of course there will be a guide.  Preorder your canvas now.

It comes on both 13 and 18 mesh.  We will be stitching the 18 mesh canvas. It measures 17 x 10.  We can adapt the threads for 13 mesh, but we can’t guarantee that the all of the stitches will translate.

Let us know if you want to stitch with us.  You know it will be amazing.

February.

Unpacking a trunk show is the best gift.  I feel like it’s Christmas every day at the shop!

All trunk show canvases discounted 15%

Melissa Prince is now carrying a line of acrylic boxes that hold a 5 x 5 insert.  A perfect gift!

These signs from Stitch-Its are HYSTERICAL!

 Becki has done it again!  A “magnificent” piece, according to Melissa Shirley herself.

Everything about this piece is amazing.  The animals are precious.

The crystal beads sitting in the snow are a delightful touch.

No that’s not turkey work.  Colonial knots with an array of fibers.

We have more canvases on order if you want to add it to your wishlist.
