Cure winter blues!

January is almost over, and Valentine’s Day will be here soon!  Our What’s New Page at https://www.houseofstitches.com/whatsnew.cfm has several quick to stitch projects that would be perfect for your special loved one.  Look for Holiday Hooplas-Valentine’s Day from With Thy Needle and Thread and the three new designs from Heart in Hand.  I love stitching hearts; hope you do, too!  A much-requested leaflet from Prairie Schooler has been reprinted!  Barn Cats is Book 6 in the long line of Prairie Schooler designs. It is sure to be a big hit the second time around! Look over the new designs and let us know which ones are destined for your stitching stash.  A new project or two will cure the winter blues!

Spring Projects!

It’s the middle of January and the designers are ready for spring! Our updated What’s New Page, https://www.houseofstitches.com/whatsnew.cfm , features many spring themed designs and kits.  Included are the new Mill Hill Spring Collections, a Valentine from ScissorTail Designs and a cute bunny from Artful Offerings.  Two new Hoopla Designs from With Thy Needle and Thread arrived too late to be pictured but you can put a note in the customer comments area of the order form and request Holiday Hoopla-Valentine’s and Holiday Hoopla-St. Patrick’s Day. The Hoopla designs are cute and quick to stitch. Just pop them in a little hoop with a ribbon bow and you are finished!

We have a weekend forecast for winter weather so get your projects lined up!  You don’t want to have to spend your bad weather time scrubbing floors or cleaning drawers and closets!! New projects with pretty spring colors are just what you need to combat the days of grey skies!

Keep up the good work! Your continued business and support are appreciated.

Happy New Stitching Year!

I hope you have been able to start 2020 with significant time to stitch!  For us at the shop it means it is time to take inventory of our stock. (Translated that means less time to stitch!)  Even as we count, new things continue to arrive and  you can see them at https://www.houseofstitches.com/whatsnew.cfm . New holiday designs are still appearing and if you are like me, January is my favorite time to stitch them.  You can congratulate yourself on planning ahead, way ahead, for Christmas 2020.  After all, it is less than a year away!  The new arrivals include series continuations from Amy Bruecken, Country Cottage Needleworks, Hands On Design and Little House Needleworks. Mirabilia Designs has a new mermaid called Lilith of Labrador.

Please continue to help me in the search for a new owner for House of Stitches.  I know the right person is looking for a shop like ours to make their own! Maybe you know that person and all that is needed is a little encouragement from you! It is time for me to spend more time with my family and my stitching (LOL).  And I have a few closets that that are about to explode from lack of attention.

It has been fun to hear about all of the projects that you are planning for this year.  Many of you are participating in stitch-a-longs and online stitching groups. Keep us posted on your progress.  We will be happy to cheer you on and encourage you toward your goals!
