Happy Thanksgiving everyone! As you might guess we'll have slightly different hours this holiday season to spend time with friends and family, here they are:

Tuesday November 26th 10:30 to 6:00
Wednesday November 27th 10:30 to 3:00
Thursday November 28th CLOSED
Friday November 29th CLOSED
Saturday November 30th 10:30 to 4:00

The finishing deadline is fast approaching next week. The last day to drop off for Christmas is Wednesday November 27th, so I hope everyone is able to finish their projects and get them to us by then. After this date we may possibly have a little more room....just have to wait and see. We can chat. All the little elves are burning the midnight oil right now.

Happy Thanksgiving!
Susan, Justin, Sandy and Greg

We're excited to host a trunk show of Two Sisters Needlepoint ! This company is owned by yes - two sisters and their young enthusiastic style is very fresh and fun. We hope you can come visit the shop by Saturday,  December 7 - last day before the show gets packed up and sent home to North Carolina.

We are hosting this wonderful show until Wednesday, November 13. We hope you are able to visit and enjoy seeing the lovely models. During the show all canvases are 15% off regular prices.

The month of September we are happy to host a trunk show from Needle Crossings! You may know them for the wonderful beach themed designs, beautiful birds, or curious cats, but did you know they also do a series of butterflies, beach cottages, lighthouses, and Christmas tree ornments? Whether you are looking for a small little ornament or a big brick cover or pillow there are projects in all shapes and sizes. We have over 200 canvases in this limited time engagement, about half are on 13 count canvas and half are on 18 count mesh sizes. It's only here until the end of September and we are running a special 15% discount on Needle Crossings canvases in the trunk show until then! Here's just a few of the canvases in the slideshow below:

Hi Friends ! We are currently hosting a lovely trunk show from JBW Designs. Judy Whitman lives in Kalamazoo Michigan.(Don't you love saying that name?? ) She has a distinct French style of designing patterns unlike any one else. Always sweet and charming!

The show has over 50 models to inspire us all. The finishing details are very fun - Blanket stitch edging , beads, and interesting creative shapes. Judy has the patience to stitch quite a few of the models over one and they are special little treasures.I love that Judy has personally stitched all of the models she has shared with us.
The show will be at the shop during the month of July. Hope you are able to take a break from the heat and visit the shop to enjoy this show. Thanks, Susan

This month we are very happy to present a delightful little trunk show from Julia's Needleworks. With rollup nutcrackers, boxes and baskets the canvases in this trunkshow are smaller in size but pack in maximum stitching enjoyment.

We have the privilege of hosting a delightful trunk show from Julie Mar Designs until Thursday April 4th. This show includes many different artists and styles of canvases. Also we are running a special 15% off discount on all Julie Mar canvases during the show. The following pictures offer a taste of what you will see if you are able to visit the shop.

Happy New Year everyone! We're starting the year with a beautiful trunkshow from the Princess and Me which runs from now until Saturday, January 19th. The Princesses are based out of Middleton, Wisconsin. They are known for their wonderful stitch guides for small needlepoint ornaments and decorations. With a variety of threads, textures, and stitches used in each design it's a good way to try out decorative stitching if you haven't tried it previously. This trunk show features almost a hundred different models on display. Trust me, you should check it out in person even if you don't needlepoint, it's worth seeing for inspiration!

During the month of June we have the pleasure of hosting an Alexa needlepoint trunk show. This show includes charming Christmas stockings, elegant Christmas ornaments, and cute Easter decorations. Alexa designs does some of the warmest grandfatherly faces on her santas especially. Many of the stockings have little boy and little girl themes making them great for that special little one.

Jeanine Sherman is the talented artist behind Alexa Designs. She has been designing for over 45 years and hails from the great state of Texas. She's one of the sweetest people in the needlepoint business and she has a heart of gold, adopting several abandoned dogs over the years.

So I hope you have a chance to come in and see the trunk show this month while it's here until June 30th. We will also be having a special on all Alexa designs during the month of June, taking 15% off the regular price!

It's the last few days of the Susan Roberts trunkshow, it will be headed home at the close of Saturday. So this week is a great time to come in and browse and maybe find your next needlepoint project. I love some of these brickcovers Susan does, they are usually made up as door stops or just for decoration purposes as a box. Good when you run out of space on the couch for more pillows, and the walls have no room left. And our local finisher who has been doing our finishing for over two decades does a great job at making them up.
