Fall projects!

Summer is winding down; are you ready for a new fall project?  Our What’s New page, https://www.houseofstitches.com/whatsnew.cfm , has great projects to fill your stitching baskets.  Along with the brand-new designs, we have four reprinted charts from Blackbird Designs.  These are charts that you may have spotted on eBay for mega prices.  The last three charts in Needle Bling’s Halloween Mini-series.  Hardanger enthusiasts will want to see the four new designs from Satin Stitches.  Pumpkin Topiary by Scissor Tail Designs can be a part of your fall decorating for the whole season.  And, it includes a Pumpkin Pin Pillow. It is as much fun to say as it is cute!

It is not too late to sign up for our October 18-20 Weekend of Stitches.  Not many spaces remain, so do not delay.

I received word this week that the 2019 Just Cross Stitch Ornament Magazine will be shipped to us next week! It is sent by Media Mail so I don’t know exactly when it will arrive.  Let us know if you would like us to phone or email you when it arrives and we will hold a copy for you.

This is another finished project from our friend Linda who lives in Muncie, IN.  It is a Rosewood Manor design called Barnwood Buttons. It is on my "someday I will stitch this" list. I love mother of pearl buttons and I bet many of you do, too!

A hot time was had by all!

Thank you so much to everyone who helped make our Midwest Stash Exchange a success.  It was warmer than the temperature I requested from the weatherman but it did not rain!  So far, we have $1100 to send to Riley Hospital for Children!  We are going to wait about a week to send the money to Indianapolis so there is still time to add your contribution.

In the week since the Stash Exchange the shop has received still more new designs to fill your stitching baskets. You surely do not want to miss anything new!  Here’s the link to our What’s New page: https://www.houseofstitches.com/whatsnew.cfm . (If for some mysterious computer reason, the link does not work, just go to our website and click the What’s New button. You can do that anytime, any day!) Halloween designs are well represented along with three new Fragments in Time by Summer House Stitche Workes, three new Drawn Thread charts, a new mandala from Ink Circles and the next two designs in Amy Bruecken’s Lucky 13 series.
 

If you have been debating about joining the fun for our October Weekend of Stitches, there is still plenty of time to sign up and complete your pre-stitching.  (It is a good thing since I have not yet started my pre-stitching!)  Give us a call, 800-455-8517, or email, mail@houseofstitches.com, and we will add you to our class.

 

Thank you for our continued support!  We appreciate you and look forward to serving your cross stitch needs.
