While working on a project I was looking for some stitches I have never used and I came across the Serendipity stitch.  I used an over-dyed thread and really like the way it looked.  Give it a try.

If you love dogs you are going to love these canvases that just arrived at the shop.  Each one is cuter than the next.  Call or email us if you would like one of these canvases.

Here's a few goodies that came in this week.

  Stephanie has just finished designing and stitching our new Advanced Beginner & Beyond canvas.  This project can be finished as a clutch or a gadget bag for some of your take along stitching goodies.  The one shown in the picture is called Autumn Delight.  We will be working on developing several other colorways such as Ravenous Red, Blissfully Blue, Lavender Mist, Purple Haze, Pink Perfection, Upbeat Teal and Grassy Green.  We will be holding a class in January or we can kit it for our out of town stitchers.  More information will be posted in the coming weeks.

The week Gretchen choose this startling impressive Grand Ottoman canvas from The Meredith Collection.  The colors are gorgeous & the finished piece would be and exquisite addition to your needlepoint collection.

The canvas was $440 but is on sale now for $330.  If you let us kit it you will receive 10% off the cost for the threads. If you finish it as a pillow just imagine it with amazing tassels! The canvas is on 18 mesh.

If you are interested in purchasing this weeks Staff Pick give the shop a call.

We have one canvas of Raymond Crawford’s “Larry the Turkey” with threads & stitch guide in stock.  Great fall colors and lots of different textures.  Looks great on your dining room table!  The original cost was $188 now on sale for $150.

If you are looking for a great stitch for snow you should try the Double Straight Cross.  It can be worked in either a small space or a large space.  Use a metallic thread such as Snow by Caron, Kreinik or Entice to achieve a look of freshly fallen snow.

 

Here's a peak as some of the other canvases that just got to the shop.

 

New canvases are arriving at the shop daily.  We just love these canvases from Pepperberry!
