Sale Items
We have several items for sale in the shop and you can visit our Sales page for more details. We have most of our R&R Fabrics on sale for 50% off. We only plan to carry a few 30, 35 and 40 count fabrics going forward as we have picked up more of the Lakeside Linens and carry all the Weeks Dye Works fabrics and Birds of a Feather colors and counts. We also have Grab Bags of R&R for $5/pkg.
Also on sale are the JL Walsh Silk, Silk Twist, Silk Perle and Silk/Wool threads for 50% off retail. We will continue to special order these but we need to make room for other threads.
Sale prices are good while supplies last. Visit our Sales page for details.
Burmilana Added to On-Line Catalog
We are now carrying all the colors of Burmilana and have added them to our on-line catalog, along with photographs of most of the colors. This is great blending thread, especially for those of you missing Medici. It's 50% wool/50% acrylic and is quite strong, as it is one of Madeira's machine embroidery threads.
CA Wells - Mermail Pocket Purse class
CA Wells will be here the end of February and we have selected her projects. One is a pre-stitching project - the Mermaid Pocket Purse. The class will be Sunday, February 24 from 9:30am - 4:30pm and you will need to pre-stitch the band and the bottom of the purse before class. We'll spend our class time assembling the purse so you'll learn how to join linen-linen and linen-silk, all from the outside. We expect to receive the kits around Christmas and they will be sent when we have received your payment for the class of $195. You can sign-up on-line or by calling the shop.
As with all of CA's projects we are not able to sell the kits without your attending the class.
We will post the details of the other two projects in the next couple of weeks so stay tuned...
New Gift Items
We have a couple of new Gift items added to our on-line catalog. Stitcher's Lotion is non-greasy formula made for our specific use and comes in several fragrances. The Diva Fiber Cord Maker is a fun tool for making all types of cording with threads, yarn and even strung beads. You'll find these items on our Gifts page along with many other fun treasures.
Phillipa Turnbull coming in a month!
Phillipa will be here in a month to teach a wonderful leaf motif from a chair in Leven's Hall, located in Cumbria England. It's a 6 inch detail in blues, browns and reds with 2 variations of laid and couch work, and a modified coral stitch. Class fee is $140 and includes your kit, lunch and the lecture after class. You'll also get to use one of Phillipa's seat frames during class to make stitching easier. Class is Sunday January 6th from 9:30am - 3:30pm.
A lecture will follow from 4pm - 5pm and is open to those not in the class for a fee of $25 (it is included in your class fee).
Phillipa won't be back again until 2010 so be sure to catch her in 2008!!! Check our Class page for more details or give us a call.
