Happy Summer!

Happy summer!  Can you believe the 4th of July is next week?!  We will be closed on the 4th but otherwise we will be open our regular hours.  (10-5:30 weekdays and 10-3 on Saturdays, Central Time)  

I know you have been hoping for some new projects, so take a look at our What’s New Page: www.houseofstitches.com/whatsnew.cfm .  There are many good choices for your summer stitching pleasure.  We also added two fun new scissors and some cute magnets that somehow did not get on our website sooner.

Supplies are starting to come in a little more predictably, but some things are still elusive.  I think we are all learning to be more flexible and willing to substitute when necessary. So, maybe that is the silver lining to the supply chain issues.

This sweet little project has been waiting for me to finish it as a pinwheel for at least 3 years!  So, I took the easy way out and "hooped" it.  At least it is out of my stitching bag and you can see it!  It is "Quaker Carnations Pinwheel" by Threadwork Primitives.  

Choose your summer projects so you are ready for your traveling vacation or your non-traveling staycation!  We look forward to being in touch with you soon. Your continued business is appreciated.

Road trip anyone?

We have a What’s New page that will help you plan your projects for the rest of the year.  There are patriotic designs, fall designs, samplers and… are you ready for this?!  Mill Hill Christmas kits!  You can be ahead of the Christmas in July people by starting your projects in June.  Be sure to see the next charts in the Year in the Woods, Nutcracker Village and Fall on the Farm series.  And, we have added a couple of new designers: Dirty Annie’s and Stitches by Ethel.  So many projects and so little time!!

It is summer traveling season again and we are having fun meeting new stitchers as they travel through our area.  We are near I 94 and I 80/90 so stop in on your next trip.  Your traveling companions can visit Little’s Chocolate Shop across the street, the Roxy Music Store downtown, several downtown antique malls and a great Ace Hardware just down the street.  That way you can shop unhindered by people waiting for you.

We will be looking forward to your visit whether in person or on the web!
