A SANTA CONVENTION
Just a reminder that this is our “Christmas in July ” class this year, A Santa Convetion. A fun project
with interesting stitches and threads. The background is a quick darning pattern.
I am making mine into a tray but you can make a wall hanging, box or purse if you choose.
This piece is 12×10″ on 18 ct . Class dates are July 17 and 18, 10am-4pm.
See you in class!
Upcoming Club- Elves Wreath
ELVES WREATH
Every day we are receiving packages with wonderful items ordered at market.
Today , this adorable Elves Wreath arrived. It will be a Quail Run club starting in Sept 2015.
Each little elf has such a cute outfit to enhance with threads, beads and embellishments
You will get a different style of hair, beard and moustache for each little guy . I am still thinking
about the best stitch and thread design for the wreath-want to make it a little different and fun
to stitch. Lots of ideas-just have to put needle and thread to canvas to see what works and looks
the best.
The canvas is $240, 14.5″ round and on 18 ct. Thread/embellishment kit price to be determined.
Call the store to sign up!

Patchwork of Patterns Class
This was our weekend for Margaret Bendig’s Patchwork of Patterns Class. As always, Margaret taught us so many good techniques with lots of stitching tips . Margaret is an exquisite stitcher so so it is great to be gently reminded of how to correct the bad habits I have fallen into when stitching! Some of the ladies chose other colorways . It is always amazing to see how color changes the focal points of the design.
We had delicious lunches with my office converted to a lovely tea room setting with pretty flowers. The florist was using these same flowers for a wedding ( must have been a gorgeous wedding in these soft peach and cream colors).
Save these date -February 26/27, Fri/Sat in 2016 for Margaret’s next class at the shop.
She will be teaching a new design, Winter , in the series of season designs she is creating.
Call the shop and we will put you on the class list to hold your spot.
For all your Yoga Enthusiasts- this tray is for you!
Just a super job by one of our lovely customers, Eileen. This is a Maggie canvas
appropriately titled “Downward Facing Dog”!
The close up shows the well chosen threads , beads and stitches Eileen used in this piece.
Just a perfect gift for that yoga enthusiast!.
Great job, Eileen!
Sew and So’s
One of the best things I enjoy about needlework is to see a finished project that other stitchers
share. One of my staff, Kim finished this wonderful Sandra Gilmore Christmas canvas and had it
framed. She even added a little book charm to complete this special piece.
We are lucky to have an excellent local framer who recommended this perfect frame. It looks
like the burden stitch. Don’t you just want to step into that room and curl up in that comfy chair!
Great job, Kim!
Have a wonderful weekend with time for yourself and stitching.
Happy President’s Day

56″ of Snow and More!
Just a quick note about delays we are experiencing with some orders. Due to the inclement weather back east, our orders for threads, canvases and other wonderful things are being delayed,
I have received emails from six vendors in the last two days , apologizing for the shipment delay as they cannot get out to the post office , UPS or FedEx shipping centers. One message said they had 56″ of snow, more was coming and they could not get out of their driveway . So if your order is one of those being held up, be assured as soon as they are able these vendors will ship.
As we enjoy this 80 degree sunshine, it is so hard to imagine so much snow and cold!!
Happy Stitching
Susan
