Projects for all seasons

I hope you have a hankering for a new project because we have many new ones to fill your needs!  There are projects for every season of the year.  Even though we are having a hard time getting spring to stick around, the new Mill Hill autumn kits are here!  We have Prairie Schooler charts that have been reprinted including some of their popular Prairie Fairies and yearly Santas.  Tree lovers will need to see Daily Walk in the Woods from Carolyn Manning.  The trees could be stitched individually or as a group. Quiltz, the latest design from Long Dog Samplers, is stitched in fall colors and depicts a country village in a band sampler style.  Stoney Creek has a new book with the state birds for all the states.  I think I might have to start stitching Long May She Wave from Abby Rose Designs just to reassure myself that spring and summer are really on the way.  Find your favorites and we can get them on the way to your mailbox or hold them for you to pick up.

Here is a photo of a project stitched by our friend Cindy. It is Vintage Birds by Jeanette Douglas Designs. As always, the photo doesn't come close to showing how beautiful it is real life.  Great job, Cindy! Thanks for letting us share it.

Keep on stitching!  We appreciate your continued business!

Once again we have updated our What’s New page with our latest arrivals.  You can see them here: https://www.houseofstitches.com/whatsnew.cfm .  Several of the new things are market items that have just arrived! The third installment of Little House Needleworks’ Farmhouse Christmas is here and I think it is my favorite so far.  What is it that makes us all love the little red pick up trucks?  Country Cottage Needleworks has started a new series called Welcome to the Forest.  The annual Stoneware kit from Pricilla’s Pocket is a Snowman. We have added some charts from the California company Satsuma Street. They are colorful designs including the signs of the zodiac, The Emerald City and a collage of Chicago landmarks.  The new fall (Yes, fall!!) kits are here from Mill Hill!  They arrived too late to be pictured in this update but they will be on the next one.

It has come to my attention that I should be starting to plan for retirement!  If you have been thinking about having your own needlework shop, this could be your golden opportunity.  Let me know if you are interested; I would be happy to provide training/mentoring as needed.

As I write this we are getting yet another snow flurry!  Our only consolation is that it will melt soon.  And, it doesn’t keep us from stitching spring projects!  I hope all of your projects are going well. Let us know which new ones you want to add to your stitching basket.
