Mark your calendars!


 

We have details about our 2017 Weekend of Stitches for you!  Click the Events button on our website https://www.houseofstitches.com/events.html for a photo of the project, details and the Registration Form.  Stacy Nash will be teaching the Saturday class and she will be mailing the pre-stitching kits in mid-August.  The project is stitched on 36 count linen but you may use your own 32 count (or 16 or 18 count) fabric if you prefer.  If you want to come please sign up soon as space is limited.
 
Our What’s New page has new projects for your stitching pleasure!  See the latest arrivals at https://www.houseofstitches.com/whatsnew.cfm. We also have a second new chart from Cricket Collection called Going Coastal.  Once we figure out how it has gone missing, we will have a photo of it in the next update.  Shepherd’s Bush has three new offerings. One of them is Land of Liberty, a little kit that includes 10 count fabric.  It would be perfect for teaching someone to stitch or to take on your vacation as an easy on your eyes project.  If you are looking for a more challenging project, be sure to see Cardinal Points from Long Dog Samplers or the two new samplers from Victoria Sampler.
 
I hope you are planning to join us for the Midwest Stash Exchange on August 19.  Our storeroom is bursting with stitching supplies that have been donated to benefit Riley Hospital for Children.  Help us find new homes for great stash and raise money for a worthwhile cause!  We still have space available if you would like to bring your excess stash to sell or trade.  More information is available on our Events page https://www.houseofstitches.com/events.html .  Just scroll down a little to find it.  

We have enjoyed meeting some of you as you stop by during your summer travels! It is always nice to put a face with your name.  Your continued patronage is appreciated whether online or in person!

Mark your calendar!



After some technical challenges, we finally have an updated What’s New Page to share with you.  You can see the latest arrivals at https://www.houseofstitches.com/whatsnew.cfm.  The fourth in the Little House Needleworks Early Americans series is here as well as the first in the Schoolhouse Abecedarian series from With Thy Needle and Thread.  Country Cottage Needleworks Main Street series continues with Gazebo.  The second in the Home.Hive.Nest projects from Summer House Needleworks is here.  If you are in need of a birth sampler, Stoney Creek has two new ones.  And! The much anticipated Just Cross Stitch Special Halloween issue just hit our doorstep yesterday! (It’s my understanding that it is not included with your subscription if you get the magazine by mail.)  It includes 53 projects.  According to my calculator, that’s less than 19 cents per project! 
Be sure to mark the first weekend of October on your calendars!  That’s our next Weekend of Stitches featuring designer Stacy Nash.  The $175.00 cost includes a Friday evening social time, Saturday class with Stacy, a project designed exclusively for our weekend, two lunches, Sunday group stitching time, fun with other stitchers and surprises!  We will have a registration form on the Events Page of our website very soon.

If you like to follow House of Stitches on Facebook, I must apologize!  For some unknown reason, I am unable to post new messages.  It is very frustrating, especially when Facebook sends me messages that say I have not posted and my friends want to hear from me!  I hope to have it figured out soon.  Sorry for your inconvenience!
We look forward to hearing from you after you see all of the new charts!  We appreciate your continued interest.
