Look at all of these great canvases from the Alice Peterson line.  Is there one that you must have?

Give us a call!

We just received an e-mail from one of our finishers expressing their regret that they will not be able to guarantee holiday finishing.  On our end we want all of you to know how sorry we are and that we have no control over it.   When we receive the deadlines from the finishers in the beginning of the year, we push back the deadline 2 or more weeks. This year their deadline was August 1, and our deadline was July 15 which gave us plenty of time to get your needlepoint items to them.

Like us the finishers have also experienced the effects of Covid-19.  Back in the spring they needed to shut down and when things started to open up 2 months later, they did everything in their power to process all of the orders that they had.  The process of reopening was slow because some of the materials that they needed for finishing were on backorder.  Sadly, several of their finishers did get Covid-19 and needed to go into quarantine before returning to the shop.  This will affect those of you who are waiting for ornaments or stand-ups. We are hopeful to get most of the holiday items sent by our deadline of July 15 and we will be checking in with the finisher’s weekly as to the status those orders.

For those of you that are having pillows or stockings finished this should not affect you receiving your holiday orders.

Again, we are very sorry for this.  Wishing you and your families a healthy and happy holiday season.

Staff Pick Wednesday – Adorable Lion by Jean Smith

Who would not love to stitch this adorable lion for their child or grandchild?  The canvas can be finished as a pillow or framed.  Originally priced at $135 but is now on sale for $108.   Give us a call and this cutie can be yours.

 New Canvases from Prairie Designs

Here are 2 Prairie Designs canvases that are in stock at the shop.  The floral bouquet is really going to be a lot of fun to stitch.  Using beads, embellishments and ribbons will help you create a one-of-a-kind dimensional masterpiece.  Consider padding the white flowers with either felt or cotton and then string white pearl beads over the padding.  Messy beading would be great for the smaller flowers.  If you need more ideas just let us know and we will help you out.

There are several different ways you can stitch the dog canvas.  The T-Stitch would be great for the window using   Kreinik 032.    Very Velvet would be great for the arm chair.   Use Neon Rays for the curtain.
