New project, anyone?

I hope you are having weather as beautiful as ours.  The weathermen are predicting summertime weather all weekend. We have waited a long time for it to get here so no complaining about the heat!  Barbeques, ball games and cemetery visits are all going to require sunscreen.

We have an updated What’s New page for your weekend enjoyment! You can see it here: https://www.houseofstitches.com/whatsnew.cfm. There are new designs from Drawn Thread, Heart in Hand, Plum Street and more of your favorites. Choose your next project(s) today!

I have to ask for your indulgence if your orders and emails have not been attended to in the usual manner. The ladies here at the shop have done a marvelous job filling in where they could but I have not been functioning at an optimal level.  My mother has been in declining health for some time and last week she got her wish to leave her earthly home and go to her heavenly one.  So, there are orders that I thought I placed that I apparently did not and emails that I deleted instead of sending!  I hope to get things back up to speed soon!  Thank you for your indulgence.

We appreciate your continued interest! Spread the word about the benefits of stitching! It has saved my sanity on more than one occasion!

Spring has Sprung!

Our weather seems to have finally realized that it is May!  Trees and flowers are blooming and the grass has been mowed for the first time.  And, we are sneezing, sniffling and rubbing our eyes but we will pay the price for nice weather!  We have new charts to take your mind off your seasonal symptoms.  A new project always makes me feel better;  how about you?  The next installments have arrived for many of the stitching series: Farmhouse Christmas, For the Parlor, Hometown Holiday, Laundry Company, Spook Town Square and White Christmas.  Take a look at all of them at https://www.houseofstitches.com/whatsnew.cfm .  Do you crave a challenging project?  Hands Across the Sea has just the sampler for you!  Sarah Braizear 1829 is slightly larger than 24” x 24” when stitched over two on 40 count linen.  The 44 page chart celebrates the Kings and Queen of Great Britain. We are limited to the stock that we have on hand so do not delay in getting your copy.  And while we are speaking of British royalty, be sure to see the Six Wives of Henry VIII by Primitive Hare.  Dreaming of Sunflowers from Rosewood Manor will add a permanent splash of sunshine on your sampler wall.  With Thy Needle and Thread has designed a sweet little spring basket called To Thee from Me.  I hope you enjoy our latest arrivals.  They make me want to get out my needle and start a new project!
