Showing for a short time...

What a fabulous collection of designs!
Helma stitched this as a gift,
but it will be on display at the shop for a little while so we can show it off.
Oh,the work that went into this!
I personally watched her agonize over just the right color.
I watched her manipulate the center design to fit "just right" in the center.
These patterns were not created to be stitched together like this.
It is a collaboration of designs
12 little house needlework designs
"little sheep virtues"
and a
Country Cottage design
"Sheep in the meadow"
 Try to stop in and take a look.
It is a beauty - good job Helma!

Something new and fun...

A whimsical designer out of Italy
Madame Chantilly
has stolen our hearts.
It started with this design.
"Christmas Scooter"
Carolyn has stitched this up and it is adorable!
You know us, 
we can't leave well enough alone and we had to put a little spin on it.
We are working on the finishing and framing right now.
I will post pictures soon.
Then this week we got in these two adorable designs.
"Success Assure"
" Holiday on Ice"
 Oh....our creative wheels are spinning with these two also!
I can't wait to get started.
Watch for all three of these to be displayed at the shop.
Price ranges from
$9.29 to $11.50

Dorothy found a new home...

You know how it is...
You work on a project for hours and hours,
and become closer to it with every stitch.
You only part with a piece if you know that it will be appreciated and loved for all of the work you have put into it.
Our 
Dorothy and the Wizard of Oz
found the perfect home!
Lewis - our frame wholesaler - walked into the shop and fell head over heals in love with her.  Lewis said that it was his all time favorite movie, and he had to have it!
That made my heart happy.
I lovingly wrapped it up and sent her on to her new home.
So glad she is with Lewis. 💗
