New Stitch Monday – Stitches for Snow
The seasons are changing, the aroma of the fireplaces is lingering in the air so winter is on my mind. This week I thought I would share some stitches that I think are good when you are stitching snow. You should choose your threads based on if you canvas is 18 or 13 count. Some threads that would give you the look of snow are Entice, Snow, Kreinik and Silk Lame Braid. I also like to blend threads so for an 18-count canvas I might use 3-4 strands of Splendor and 1 strand of Silk Lame Braid Petite or 2 strands of Accentuate. You may need to play around with the threads until you get the look you want. You can also alternate between the metallic threads and your base thread. Give them a try!
Happy Stitching – Stephanie
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.
