Countdown to Stash Exchange!

I hope you have Saturday, August 3rd circled on your calendar for the Midwest Stash Exchange!  Booth space is still available if you would like to be a seller.  We have a large booth of donated charts and stitching supplies and 100% of the funds raised from this booth will go to the Riley Hospital Children’s Foundation. We hope to see you there. I have my order in for lovely weather for your selling and shopping pleasure.

Our favorite scissor sharpener will also be on site at the Stash Exchange! If you cannot attend on Saturday, you can drop your scissors off beforehand and pick them up after. His rates are very reasonable and he will do knives, also.

We have updated our What’s New Page at https://www.houseofstitches.com/whatsnew.cfm . There are new charts from some of your favorite designers: JBW, Plum Street, With Thy Needle and Thread and Jeannette Douglas and more. Let us know which ones are your favorites!

Stash Exchange!

I have great news!  We will have a scissor sharpener at the Midwest Stash Exchange August 3, 2019.  Even if you are not able to join us that day you can still get your scissors (and knives!) sharpened.  Just drop them off before the 3^rd and we will hold them for you to pick them up after the 3^rd.  We still have booth space available if you are ready to part with some of your stash.  Or, just come to shop and enhance your stash!

While we are talking about stash enhancement, why not go for the ultimate stash enhancement and purchase House of Stitches?!  I will be happy to mentor and guide you if you wish. Cross stich is on the upswing right now so it is a great time to consider becoming part of the needlework industry.

Our What’s New Page has been updated at https://www.houseofstitches.com/whatsnew.cfm . One of the new items is the 2019 Just Cross Stitch Halloween Magazine!  Halloween is one of the main themes of the new releases.  The second group of Scary Apothecary charts are here as well as two new Halloween chars from Imaginating.  If you need a smile, look at Cross Stitch Fills My Days by Rosie and Me or Cluck Cluck Farm from Artful Offerings. I want to stitch it just because I love the title!

Thank you for your continued support!  We appreciate your business.

Summer stitching!

Happy Fourth of July! This message is coming to you a week later than planned due to computer issues. But, maybe the holiday will give you a little extra time to scroll through the new designs and plan your summer projects. The What’s New Page, https://www.houseofstitches.com/whatsnew.cfm , has an abundance of patriotic and summer-themed designs. If you start them now, they will be ready for next summer.

Our Midwest Stash Exchange is fast approaching!  I hope you can join us on August 3, 2019.  We have plenty of booth space available (It’s a big parking lot!) and it is for a good cause: Riley Hospital for Children. If you don’t want to have a booth, you can come and enhance your own stash. It is a great time of camaraderie with other stitchers and you might just find that out of print design that you need to complete your collection. For more information see our Events Page, https://www.houseofstitches.com/events.html . We hope to see you there!

The October Weekend of Stitches will soon be here, too! We have a few spaces open so sign up soon. The class project is available on aida or linen so it is do-able for both types of stitchers. The pre-stitching kits will be going out in mid-July. More information is on our Events Page, https://www.houseofstitches.com/events.html . Beth Seal is a great teacher and you will be glad you decided to join us!

Have a safe and Happy Fourth! I hope you can spend some extra time stitching!
