Do you have one of those doors that always seems to be blowing shut?  Maybe it’s time to stitch a brick cover.  We have 4 fabulous Susan Robert brick covers in stock.  You can bring these canvases to life by adding some metallic thread & beads.  Once you have it finished you will never have to think about that slamming door anymore.

We also just got in some great beginner canvases.  If you want to experiment with a few new stitches or teach someone how to needlepoint these are perfect.

Give us a call if you see something you like.

This summer I was lucky to be able to go on vacation to the Jersey shore with my family.  I must admit that it was definitely different because of Covid-19.  What was not different was me planning on what to bring to stitch.  Usually I bring my stand, my light and two or more projects because you just never know what you will feel like working on while away.  This year I brought one simple project, no accessories or books other than what I usually keep in my stitching tote.   My plan was to keep the stitching simple.  I have a thing for hearts and fell in love with this canvas.  When I began the project, I realized that I wanted a stitch for the owl.    Good thing for me I save pictures of all the different stitches that I find on the web and I save them on my phone.  I found this Cashmere Variation with Accents and thought it would be perfect for the body of the owl.  I used Vineyard Silk for the Cashmere stitches and added a matching Kreinik for the accent stitches.   I am very pleased with the way it turned out and will use this stitch again.  Give it try!

Happy Stitching,

Stephanie

What a good week we are having!   New canvases have been arriving at the shop daily and we are just giddy!  Here is a taste of the new Maggie & Cooper Oaks canvases.

The 3 Maggie scenery canvases have such vibrant colors and the stitch possibilities can be endless.  If you have an owl lover in your home you can’t go wrong with the owl on the branches.  All of these canvases would make great pillows or framed for some home décor.  Looking for a welcome canvas for your home during the holidays?  Well look no further.  You can make a banner or a stand-up to display during the holiday season.  You can never have to many Santa canvases.

Get Ready for Easter!

Hen in Basket canvas designed by Brenda Stofft

We have four kits available from a previous class.  This cheerful design makes a wonderful spring stand up.  The colorful, sparkling eggs and the hen is full of texture.    The Stitch Guide is based on stitches from the book “Stitches to Go”.

We used a variety of threads including Merino Wool, Neon Rays, Impressions and Planet Earth Silk.   The threads are cut but include enough to complete the project.

These are first come, first serve and kits will not be offered again.  The discounted price for the canvas, threads and stitch guide is $70 which is a great price for just the canvas.  Please note the background thread and Petite Peluche are not included.

Enjoy this wonderful spring project!

Just let us know if you want us to include the missing threads and stretcher bars.

We are excited to introduce a new designer, Madeleine Elizabeth. We will be hosting her virtual trunk show during the month of September, here is a little about her. Madeleine is a sophomore in high school and started needlepointing at a very young age. She is a beautiful stitcher and decided to take this skill to the next level through painting needlepoint canvases.

She launched Madeleine Elizabeth and was introduced to the Needlepoint World at the Orlando Spring Needlepoint Show in March of 2019. Madeleine is a young lady, mature and wise beyond her years with a whimsical, bright and vibrant perspective. This outlook and her artwork bring a fresh, new perspective to one of the world’s most ancient crafts!  There is a wonderful article about her in the July/August issue of Needlepoint Now.

We are pleased to hosting her virtual Trunk Show and are offering 20% off any of her canvases. Please go to her website and look around at www.madeleineelizabeth.net . Below are a few of her canvases.
