Friendly Advice!


I want to start today by giving you a little friendly advice. If you see a design that you like; buy it! Buy it NOW!! We can never be sure how long something will be in print. And, most designers do not let us know when they discontinue a design. We find out the hard way when we try to order it for you. We are getting calls and emails nearly every day from people who are looking for charts that have gone out of print. I hate it when we are not able to get you the projects that you want! So, this is not a shameless sales ploy; it is an earnest attempt for you to be able to obtain the charts that you need.
Once again, our What’s New page has been updated: https://www.houseofstitches.com/whatsnew.cfm. For those of you who are so much more organized that I am, there are new Mill Hill Christmas kits. There are also summer and patriotic charts and even a couple of Halloween designs! From Noteworthy Needle we have the May and June Thimble boxes. These little boxes are just too cute for words! And I have it on good authority, they only take about 6 hours from start to finish, including assembly!
We are having another day of rain and cool temperatures. Summer seems to be toying with us! But, like I always say, it is good stitching weather.
Remember to sign up for the Midwest Stash Exchange and our October class with Beth Seal from Summer House Stitche Workes. The information is here: https://www.houseofstitches.com/events.html.
