Trying no appointments!
I hope you have had a good weekend! It has been very summery here in northern Indiana. And, like I always say, it is good stitching weather! If you have finished all the projects from your stash, we have new suggestions for you on our What’s New page: https://www.houseofstitches.com/whatsnew.cfm . There is a new sampler from Blackbird Designs, another Feed Sack design from Carriage House, two new samplers from Victoria Samplers and two Halloween Trio charts from Waxing Moon.
This week we want to try being open without appointments but still wearing masks. If things get crazy, we may have to go back to taking appointments, but we want to try “business as usual” and see how it goes. We still do not want to have too many customers at one time in our small space, so please understand if we have to ask you to wait a few minutes to come in.
It has been fun to see all of the projects that have been finished while people were stuck at home. Many of you have your Christmas stitching well underway and, in some cases, finished! Keep up the good work!

More new projects!
We have been hearing again and again about the sanity saving effects of stitching! It has helped many of us as we go through the long ordeal of the pandemic. The designers have kept busy with new projects for us. Our latest arrivals can be seen here: https://www.houseofstitches.com/whatsnew.cfm . There are projects from Just Nan, My Big Toe, Scattered Seed and Thistles. And! We have the Christmas Mill Hill kits and the 2020 Prairie Schooler Santa! (Somehow, we missed getting his photo on the list but will get him added next time.)
My deadline to order Coming to America-Women of the Mayflower from With Thy Needle and Thread is fast approaching. (https://www.houseofstitches.com/detail.cfm?ID=39853 ) You can pre-order it through our website or give us a call or email to reserve your copy. The designer says this is a one time thing and it will not be reprinted in the future. So, do not wait to get it ordered if you want it!!
We continue to be open for walk-in customers but we would like you to make an appointment. It will help us maintain a safe amount of people in the store at any given time. We do not want to have to ask anyone to wait outside until other customers finish. And, we ask that you wear a face mask. I know, they are hot and uncomfortable and we have heard all the stories and excuses. But, if you want to shop at our store, put on a mask. We are working hard to juggle the mail orders, phone calls and in person shoppers. Some days we do better than others! LOL Thank you for your patience with us! It is a continued struggle to get in the merchandise that we need to fill orders. For example, we received an order from one of our most dependable suppliers today. There were 8 items in the package and 24 things that we did not get!
We DO appreciate your continued business. Keep on stitching and smiling (behind the mask).
