June!


It is June!  Where is 2014 going? Are we having fun?   I hope you are having fun with many stitching projects.  We have more for you on our What’s New page at http://www.houseofstitches.com/whatsnew.cfm.  The list includes the next two months (May and June) from Cricket Collection, the newest Frosty Forest Charts and the June Calendar Girl.  Be sure to see the designs from Nimue!  We had charts from this designer a number of years ago and then we were unable to get them.  I was thrilled to see that Wichelt is carrying them now; they are unlike the designs of any other company.   A wonderful, magical world of fairies and elves awaits your needle and thread!  They will tempt you to compose stories about them as you stitch!  Nora Corbett has started a new series of Bewitching Pixies.  Luna and Gigi are the first two.  They take Halloween designs to a new level!
If you are taking any trips this summer, be sure to pack a special stitching bag to take along.  I recommend at least three projects.  You should have an easy one, a more challenging one and a back-up project if either of the first two does not work out. (Think missing floss colors, large counting errors, etc.)

I will leave you to browse and make your selections!  Keep up the good work.  We have been seeing some marvelous pieces that have been brought in for framing.  You never cease to amaze us!
Happy stitching,
Linda
