Staff Pick Wednesday

Are you looking for a fun canvas to get you out of the winter doldrums?  We have the perfect Kelly Clark topiary canvas on sale today that will cure that!  The canvas is 13 mesh and measures 8 x 10.  There are so many stitching & beading possibilities that will help you bring this canvas alive.  This fabulous canvas is on sale today for $121 originally priced at $152.

New Canvases from Ewe & Eye

Two beauties from Ewe & Eye just arrived at the shop!  We are all looking forward for spring so that we can plant our geraniums and place them on our windowsills.  Until then why not stitch them up!  The little cottage canvas would look great by adding texture giving it a 3D look.  French Knots, beads and other ribbon stitches will bring this canvas alive.   Give us a call if one of these catches your eye!

Customer Stash Sale 2021

We will be hosting a “Virtual Customer Stash Sale” over the course of the next 2 to 3 months.  We have done this in the past but until things get back to normal, we thought we would try this virtually.    Customers can bring in or mail us up to 3 canvases that they no longer want to stitch and sell them to a stitcher that will love them.

Rules:

• All canvases must be new, unstitched and in salable condition.
• The owner prices the canvas but not over retail prices.
• Ridgewood Needlepoint will take 20% of sale price.
• A check will be mailed to the owner of the canvas at the end of the sale, please check that we have your correct address in our system.
• All sales are final, no returns.
• No threads, books, or accessories will be included in the sale.
• When the “Stash Sale” concludes we will advise you when you can pick up your canvases or we can mail them back to you at your expense. Should you not want your canvases back they will be donated to a charitable organization.
• No more than 3 canvases per person can be entered in the sale.
• Long distance stitchers can participate, you’ll have to ship canvases and we will mail back unsold canvases and charge you the shipping costs, unless you request, we donate them.
• Prices are not negotiable.

New Stitch Monday With Twist – Week 7

This week I decided I needed to add some Bargello stitches that I have never done to the Raymond Crawford “NEEDLEPOINT” canvas.  For the letter “P” I did the Florentine stitch.  With all of the books that I have purchased over the years I found this stitch in “The Pattern Library – Needlepoint” book that my mom bought for a $1.00 at some tag sale.

I used Splendor S983 (4 strands for 18 count) and Neon Rays Plus 135.  The beauty of this stitch is that you can add several colors to your pattern.  It was easy to compensate and I really like the way it came out.

I hope you can add this to your new stitches list for 2021.  Give it a try!
