It’s above freezing the last few days, and Peggy & I have been able to give the heavy socks and “cuddle duds” a break.  We have enjoyed seeing so many of you who took the time to travel to Reading during your holidays for a winter project. There are still a limited number of coupon tablets available if you get to the shop while supplies last. (I’m going to work something up for internet shoppers too!) THANKS for your continued support!

It always seems like people are looking for baby and wedding charts this time of year so I’ve added a few to the racks, mostly “oldies but goodies.” The designers just think there is no need for new charts in this area. I wish I could say there was something to WOW about.

 

Although we have received a few new books, the next 6 weeks will provide lots of excitement for the girls unpacking the goodies Dwayne and Kevin will deliver. If you have been waiting for the final 2 stockings from Blackbird, they arrived today with the fabric.  Check out some of the goodies that are already here! These Books, Mill Hill Kits & New Series have already proved popular with the ladies who attended our Lock In on Friday.

 

WINTER ARBOR – DRAWN THREAD   I love the colors, smokey pearl with NP Silk in shades of green and white. I’m sure if you love the Winter, you may find the other seasons of interest.  $10

 

JANUARY & FEBRUARY – LITTLE HOUSE NEEDLEWORKS   Welcome in each month with these nice designs! They supply the charts & full skeins of Cresent Colours, you supply the needle and fabric. If you stitch them individually you can pop them in and out of the same frame, they also would work in a row etc. I wanted something other

than Raw Linen, so we stitched them first on perforated paper, (you can save on framing here,) then the January chart on opalescent raw and February on a Hot pink Jobelan. I expect March & April will arrive in February. We have a list started so we can let you know when each set arrives and call or mail out the kits and fabric you desire. $18

 

 

A BIRD IN HAND – LA-D-DA   This antique looking mini pillow will look adorable among your collectibles.   $6.00

 

SABRINA – NORA CORBETT   This goddess was inspired by old black and white movie glamour and celebrates the perfection of onscreen couture. Velvety charcoal embroidery drapes a sea of satin, sprinkled with crystal stars. You can customize the background easily with many medium shades of color.  $14 chart  $16.00 beads & treasures  $3.25 #4 Kreinik,  $12.50 Waterlilies Silks

 

THE TIDAL RIVER #3 – BY THE BAY NEEDLEART    You can take these primitive scenes, individually and have a nice picture, or put them together for one larger picture. However I can see them hinged and set on a mantle or table. 

$12 each chart

Tidal River I

Tidal River II

Tidal River III
