 We have new arrivals from Lizzie Kate! Check out these great designs:

 As Lizzie Kate puts it, "Push housework to the bottom of the “ to do” list, and move stitching where it belongs at the top!

Stitching is GOOD for you!

The beginning of a new design line for Lizzie Kate these a whimsical little designs with a theme called "Quick-It" because they can be completed in a few nights or over a weekend.

Lizzie Kate also begins a new Double Flip series with a Christmas theme. Each pattern includes two unique designs. How do you spell Christmas-y cheer? One holiday letter at a time! Each letter begins a little holiday phrase, and all the phrases add up to a sweet holiday poem.

Stitch them separately for little Christmas treats, or combine the whole series to spell MERRY CHRISTMAS and a whole bunch of holiday cheer!

There are four patterns in all to make the great banner design. Two more to come in the near future. If you are interested in all four designs ask us about our four pattern set discount. Discount only applies with the purchase of all designs in the series.

We also have several new designs from Homespun Elegance. Majestic Christmas II, and Welcomes a Plenty VII and VIII.

Qsnaps are a great addition to your accessories for stitching. Hoops definitely have their place in embroidery or punchneedle, but with cross stitch you have probably noticed that they leave rings in your fabric very quickly, especially if you don't remove them each night when you are done stitching. A much better way to hold your fabric is with Qsnaps. Based on the simple concept of interchangeable lengths of PVC pipe which can be easily assembled to your required work size, your fabric is rolled around the curve of the pipe and held tautly in place with a clip. No more crinkling of your fabric in a hoop! They come in varying sizes 6" x 6", 8" x 8", 11" x 11" and 11" x 17" and all are interchangeable so you can make more sizes. If you haven't tried these, try one today. We find the most convenient size is an 8" x 8" that you can move around as your design grows.

And, to keep your fabric really clean we also carry a product called Grime Guards. Wrap the edges of your Q-snap with this cover to prevent the natural oils from your hands, dirt from traveling, or other means of getting your stitching dirty. The covers come in assorted patterns and colors which personalize them to you and add a touch of personality. Made of cotton fabric the covers are washable and ready for the next stitching project. They come in 6" x 6", 8" x 8", 8" x 11" and 11" x 11" and are reasonably priced.
