Weekend of Stitches photos


The designers are keeping us on track with new fall and Christmas designs.  Find your new favorite projects at https://www.houseofstitches.com/whatsnew.cfm .  Our weather has taken a turn toward much more fall like temperatures and it makes me think I’d better get going on any holiday stitching I hope to accomplish this year!

I have good news for those of you who use the scroll frames from American Dream Products.  The business closed in August and they are no longer making the scroll frames and stands that are also known as E-Z Stitch products.  But!  Another company will be producing these products. There may be a slight lull in availability but we hope to have them back in stock soon.  This will include the no baste Velcro strips!

In the last newsletter I promised photos from our Weekend of Stitches. As the old saying goes, better late than never!  I am not an ace photographer but you can see our projects and a shot from the classroom.  (Sorry to only have a picture of Stacy Nash from the back!) I think perhaps the biggest hindrance to my being a better photographer is that I do not remember to take the pictures!  So, if you really want to see what goes on at a Weekend of Stitches…sign up for the next one!  Information will be forthcoming as it becomes available.


I hope all of your projects are going well.  I am sure you need a few new ones!  We look forward to hearing from you!

Everybody needs a new project!


We are pleased to bring you 47 of the latest arrivals in the shop.  I continue to be amazed at the creativity and variety of the many wonderful projects from the designers we carry!  On our What’s New page at https://www.houseofstitches.com/whatsnew.cfm you can see a three dimensional gingerbread house, a little Halloween basket, samplers, little pillows and framed pieces. Part 2 of the Lizzie Kate Spirit of Christmas Mystery Sampler, Celebrate With Charm Flip-It Part 7-Merry, two little sled charts (also Lizzie Kate) and Early Americans No. 7 – Abigail Adams from Little House Needleworks are all there for you to see.  The newest Plum Street releases arrived today and were too late to be added to this update.  If you would like one of them, just put a note in the customer comments area of your order form.
 
Our Weekend of Stitches was last weekend and we had a marvelous time with Stacy Nash!  Many of us left with four completed projects!  (There was pre-stitching involved.) Watch our blog www.houseofstitches.blogspot.com or Facebook page for photos that will be appearing soon.  I have someone under 30 who will be working with me tomorrow.  I am sure Facebook and blogging will be second nature to her.  I tried multiple times on Saturday to post pictures of Stacy teaching our class and had no success.  I was thinking about all of you and wishing you could be there with us!

See you on the web!  We are thankful for your continued business!
