We have an updated What’s New page for you: http://houseofstitches.com/whatsnew.cfm.
It is filled with charts, kits and new
scissors! The Heart’s Content has 5 new
kits, Dinky Dyes brings us 3 new scissors and Crossed Wing Collection’s 2015
Hummingbird is here! (And, the hand-dyed fabric is on the way.) Patriot’s Row and Americana Sampling are the
latest from Little House Needleworks.
Just Nan has a new ball called Perpetual Pentagon and both Little House
Needleworks and Country Cottage Needleworks have new ornaments in their
continuing series. Heritage Stitchcraft brings
us two sweet designs of children enjoying summer at the beach and a girl in a
field of poppies.
I recently received an email from a designer that included
the following information. It seems to
be getting harder and harder for designers to continue their business. They get very discouraged when they find charts
for their designs on Pinterest, being shared in stitching groups, among friends
and in online sharing sites. I hate it
when I hear about designers who can no longer afford to pursue the needlework
creativity that they love. It also hurts
needlework retailers whether brick and mortar or online shops. Please do your
part to help support the needlework industry that we all love.
Support Designers...
The date has been set for our 2015 Midwest Stash
Exchange! It will be August 15 from 10:00-2:00. This is your chance to shop, swap and sell
your needlework related stash. There is
no admission fee if you want to come and shop.
For sellers, the booth rental is $20.00 for an approximately 10” x 10”
space. Not only can you divest yourself
of your old stash; you can acquire new stash and meet other stitchers who share
your love of needlework. We are
predicting lovely weather, not too hot, not too cold! More information can be found on the events
page at our website.
Do you have your summer projects planned? I cannot imagine taking a trip without at
least three projects in my bag! I like
to have a simple one on an easy to see fabric, one that takes more concentration
and a bonus project in case the other two hit a snag. Remember extra needles and a threader! If you are flying, there are several options
for cutting your threads without losing your scissors to airport security. To see our newest option from the Bohin
company; type thread cutter pendant in the search box after you click on
Catalog.
I hope you find inspiration in our new offerings! As always, we look forward to seeing which
ones you choose to make your own. Your
continued support is the key to our future!
Happy stitching,Linda
