Sign up for our Resolution Stitching Program.

We are happy to say that we are once again going to run our Resolution Stitching Program in 2021.  For those of you who are new, this is a great way to get you inspired to complete stitching 3 projects during 2021.

Between January 3rd & January 31st call or send us your list of the 3 items that you would like to get done in 2021 and sent out for finishing. You will receive 20% off of your finishing and 20% off of an in-stock canvas the day you bring in your project.   For our out-of-town customers we will give you a call to let you know we received your canvas and then you can let us know what canvas you may want.   Please note that framing is not included in this offer. This offer cannot be combined with trunk show or sale canvases.

So get stitching!

Shop Information & Melissa Shirley Virtual Trunk Show

Things are beginning to look up and we are looking forward to a great new year.

Beginning today, January 2nd, we will be open Tuesdays through Saturdays from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm.  Please be sure to call and make your appointment.  If you are planning on stopping by today please give us a call so we can add you to our schedule.

As of right now we don’t have any finishing deadline schedules from our finishers.  We suggest that if you are planning on doing any holiday stitching which includes ornaments & stand-ups for Hanukkah or Christmas that you get those items to us between March and April.

We have gotten several notes from the designers informing us that there can be a 3 to 4 month wait for canvases that they do not have in stock.  Please keep that in mind if you see something let us know now so that we can order it for you.  This way you can have it by the spring.

We will be hosting the Melissa Shirley Virtual Trunk Show this month.  So many canvases to choose from.   We are offering a 20% discount on all trunk show canvases.  If you are looking for something new and would like it sooner than later please click on “Designs Currently in Stock” under their categories section.  They do try to keep that section up to date but be aware there is no guarantee it is still in stock.  To view the full line please go to http://melissashirleydesigns.com.  Please note there can be a 5-plus month wait for any canvases that we may need to order from Melissa Shirley.

Celebrate Your January Birthday

It is never too soon to start planning your holiday stitching for next year.  We just got in a few ornaments for Christmas and Hanukkah.

We also have several mezuzah canvases that will fit into the Lucite casing.

These would be a great gift for someone who is moving into a new home.

New Stitch Monday With a Twist – Week 4

New Stitch Monday With a Twist – Week 4

For the letter “D” I chose the Rosemary stitch.  I have to admit that I had a different stitch picked out for this but after I took it out the 4th time I realized if I got frustrated there is a good chance that you would also. For me needlepoint is supposed to be relaxing and enjoyable.  While I do like to challenge myself, I don’t want to get stressed out.

Since I already purchased the threads & ribbon, I looked for a stitched that I would be able to use all 3 threads.  I did this stitch in 3 steps.  First, I did all of the Continental stitches using 4 stands of Splendor S997, if your canvas is 13 count use 6 strands (shown dark purple).   For the 2nd step I did all of the cross stitches using Kreinik – K2094HL (shown light blue).  For the 3rd step I did the accent lines using Neon Rays N05 using a Chenille needle.  I did need 2 cards of N05.  I tried doing the accent lines before the cross stitch but I found I kept catching the ribbon causing it to pull.

I hope you can add this to your 21 new stitches in the 2021 Challenge.

Give it a try!

Happy Stitching – Stephanie
