Upcoming Schedule of Shop Hours

Due to the unforeseen circumstances of what is happening I am going to try and give you a schedule of when the shop will be open.  We are not closing but with family coming in for Jerry's Memorial Service and Beth's husband having knee surgery we are dancing around to maintain the shop hours.  What I am posting will be to the best of our knowledge but if you would feel more comfortable, you can always call before you come so that you don't waste a trip.

I am sorry that there is such variation in this but it is what it is - and it's a bit out of my control right now.  I ask for your patience with me during this time.  I now have another hat I have to wear with Jerry's business and my mind is in two places. Thank you for your continued support.

Happy Stitching,

Sad New and Thanksgiving Wishes

     There is no easy way to say this but to spit out.  I lost the love of my life, my best friend and my love, Jerry on November 13th.  My world to say the least has been turned upside down.  After 46 1/2 years I am the lone decision maker.  I am thankful in the peace that God has given me.  I know that Jerry is in heaven and no longer in pain and able to do all the things that he hadn't been able to do the last few years.   
     So with that being said there are so many things to be thankful for, to numerous to count.  I wish for all of you to have a wonderful Thanksgiving.  I wish you love and just want to remind all of you that it is never to soon to mend broken relationships and not to forget to tell the ones you love that you love them.  You will never know when it is too late.  

     

    Happy Stitching,

Upcoming Events & Fun Things Afoot!

     I have been having fun getting the shop decorated for Halloween.  Here are a few pictures so you can enjoy since you might not be able to visit.

   
     I hope I am not jumping the gun, but I wanted to let you know of the upcoming events that we are panning..

1. Halloween Pot Luck - This is a normal stitch day for us so let's make it fun.  If you will be coming to stitch with us please let me know if you will be participating.  We would love to have all the bases covered so if you could let us know that you plan on bringing that would be great.  For those of you what can't come and join us you can join in on the fun.  We will have all Halloween charts and canvases on sale for 20% off
2. Thanksgiving we stitch and eat on both Friday and Saturday. We all bring left overs and just have fun.  For those of you who remember that was our Alex weekend.   Sadly we don't have that special time with our friend/teacher but we hold onto those special memories.  But a happy note for me it is my birthday.  So I guess that equals some of it out
3. We will be having a Christmas party at the shop, December 12th, details to be announced.
4. January 23rd & 24th we will be have a special event, so mark your calendar.  I will be releasing more information as we get all the details worked out.     

     The new Just Nan pieces should be arriving next week.  Here are the pictures.

                              

 

     If you want one call and get added to the list, you don't  miss out.  The Reindeer Mouse is a limited edition.  What cute ornaments these would make on your Christmas tree.

Happy Stitching.

And it Goes On and On

     I have been gone several times since May and there is a good reason that I really don't wan to have to explain.  But this time, I am going away for a fun trip that has been planned for just about a year.  Two of my friends/clients are going to France to take a class from Alessandra Adelaide.  This is going to be a dream trip and I want to take my husband, Jerry, for agreeing to my going and also the ladies, Beth, Ginia and Maura for holding the shop down while I am gone.

     There will be a special Stitch Day this Saturday.  They, the ladies, have named it "We don't get to go to France" stitch day.  So that you all can have some fun also, everything in the shop will be on sale for 25% off.  The dates will be from September 17th to the 29th.  That will give you plenty of time to find what you want. This does not included any previous marked down items or other discounts and only includes items that are in stock.   Email orders are accepted.  Please email beth@stitcherstreasures.com . 

     I will be posting to Facebook with some of the fun things that we will be doing with Alessandra.  So check out the pictures and fun things that Leslie, Pamela and I will be doing.  Wish all of you were going with us.  Wouldn't that be fun!

     I just heard from the distributor of the Sampler and Antique Needlework Magazine and they are discontinuing it but will be bringing it back in a different format after the firs of the year.  They do have available the previous magazines in DVD form.  Let me know if you are interested it one of those and I can order them for you.

Happy Stitching,

New Arrivals!

     We will be closed on Monday, Sept. 7th to celebrate Labor Day.  The girls will be stitching n Saturday.  If you want some relaxation this weekend come on by.

    The Fall 2015 edition of Sampler and Antique Needlework Magazine and the second part of the new Lizzie Kate Little Mystery Sampler has arrived.  Coming soon will be the new Just Nan pieces. All of theses can been seen on the New Arrivals  page on the web site.  I am including some pictures for you. We have also updated the Works in Progress Page with lots of wonderful pieces that our friends are working on.

                                 

  

    I received an email from the distributor of Sampler & Antique Needlework News that the Aug 2015 issue would be the last one.  There were very little details but she did say they were going to incorporate some the same types of articles in the Just Cross Stitch Magazine.  I am not sure what is going on yet but will keep you updated.  

    I hate having to tell you this since our weather has been so hot and I know that I have not felt much like stitching, but . . . Finishing for Christmas deadlines for ornaments and stand-ups are October 1st, and stockings and pillows are October 15th.  So get busy everyone that is just a little more than a month away.

On Line Show Presented by Norden Crafts!

    We are so lucky to have a distributor like Norden Crafts.  There is usually a Needlework Show in the fall for Cross Stitchers.  Well this year it was cancelled so Norden Crafts stepped up to the plate and organized a Online Needlework Show. The Show is August 10th to the 19th.  I will be updating you as I get more information.  I have seen many of  the designs that are coming and they are wonderful.

    In the shop - lots of 4th of July, Summer, Halloween and Christmas items have been arriving!

   These are the Bewitching Pixies by Nora Corbett.  They are all under 10" x 10" and there are bead kits available for all of them.  And then the newest one from Mirabilia is The Raven Queen.

 

 

     .

     As many of you may already know, the Prairie Schooler has announced that they will be retiring in early 2016.  This will be a big loss to the Cross Stitch industry.  They have been designing and providing us with wonderful designs for 32 years.  As much as they are going to be missed I wish them a wonderful retirement and many years of happiness. There are several new designs available right now so if you are a fan you won't want to miss out on these.  Here are the pictures.

     I personally am in Charlotte, NC helping my son.  I will be back on August 5th in time for the Online Show.  The weather here is very hot and humid,  but everything is green.  The other night we were out walking and I smelled fresh cut grass.  Boy it has been a while since I have smelled that because my lawn is almost nonexistent because of the drought at home.  So I guess you can't have everything.  I just thank God that we have what we have and that we need to learn to be happy with what we have as it could always be worse. 

    Well I am off for now.  Tomorrow I am going to the Needlepoint Store in Charlotte.  Can't miss that. 

                                                                                            Happy Stitching,
