Weekend of Stitches Accomplishments

We had a great time with Sue Hillis at our Weekend of Stitches!  This is  a photo of some of the easels we made during her Easels Made Easy class.  Sue is a wonderful teacher and we had a great time choosing fabrics and trims from the huge stash she brought.  Her method of making easels really is easy and we all left feeling a great sense of accomplishment!  She is in the process of writing a finishing book that will include the easel instructions.  Watch for it!

 

We have updated our What’s New page with the latest arrivals at the shop.  You can see them here, http://www.houseofstitches.com/whatsnew.cfm .  There are a few new Dovo scissors; collectors take note!  There are two new spring charts from Drawn Thread, four new designs from Lizzie Kate and a trio of ghosts on perforated paper from Mill Hill.  If you like to plan ahead; both Shepherd’s Bush and Tiny Modernist have new Easter designs.  Garden Samplers, a very popular Prairie Schooler chart has been reprinted.

As you plan your summer travels be sure to include House of Stitches as a stop along the way or better yet as a destination!  There are many things to entertain your family while you shop: lakes, parks, museums, Washington Park Zoo, Michigan City Lighthouse, the list goes on!  We hope to see you soon.
