The countdown is on!!

I hope everyone had a safe and happy Thanksgiving!  We have updated the What’s New page with fifty-eight new stitching designs!  There are so many that I would like to start stitching now.  It is especially exciting to have Star Wars and Hello Kitty to offer you.  This is the first time that I have been able to get these licensed characters!  They each come as a boxed kit with a design book, floss, fabric and a hoop.  The designs are easy enough for first time stitchers…think Christmas gifts here!  A favorite character is a good motivation to stitch. And, it is fun to share your love of stitching with the next generation of needleworkers.

As we are waiting on people today we are hearing the same thing from everyone.  How can Christmas be only a month away?!  I guess we have our work cut out for us.  We have many gifts for stitchers from gold needles to gift certificates in any amount.  We look forward to helping you with your holiday (and every day!) shopping.

One of the things we gave thanks for yesterday is all of you!  Your continued patronage is what keeps us in business.  Thank you!

35 new DMC colors!

Newsflash!

We have the 35 new DMC colors!! These are the open stock skeins at $.49 each.  (That is our usual DMC floss price.  Suggested retail is now $.87!)  We have ordered the tins that will have all 35 colors but we do not have a definite date for their arrival.  The tins will be $27.95.  We will be adding the new numbers to our website but if you do not want to wait, just put a note in the customer comments area and ask for them. 

New projects banish shorter days blues!

Do you need a new project or two to lift your spirits as our days get shorter and the temperatures get cooler?  We have some suggestions for you at https://www.houseofstitches.com/whatsnew.cfm .  They range from mini size to epic with many in between sizes.  I have added at least two projects to my stash; now I just have to find the time to start them!  The Lizzie Kate Spirit of Christmas Mystery Sampler is now complete!  If you were waiting to see the entire sampler before committing yourself to stitching it, here it is!  The latest early American from Little House Needleworks is Patrick Henry. And for the lovers of all things primitive, we have the winter issue of Punch Needle and Primitive Stitcher Magazine.

If you are stitching Christmas gifts that need to be framed we would like to have them by Thanksgiving weekend. We want to be sure they will be ready in time for gift giving.

Thank you for your continued patronage and love of stitching!  Help us keep the joy of needlework strong by sharing it with someone you know.
