Hello fellow Gardeners!  I hope your stitching gardens are coming along nicely.  It has been a busy several weeks in our Garden with lots of classes and trunk shows! New merchandise from the Dallas Market is making its way in to the shop to tempt us to pick up a new project or add to our stash (myself included).

November 4th is our 1 year anniversary.  We are closed on Sunday, but stop in on Saturday, November 3rd to help us celebrate.  I couldn't be as fulfilled and happy as I am without all of you.  You make it a joy to come to work everyday and I cannot express enough how thankful I am. Thank you to my fabulous staff, I watch you all become such amazing stitchers and teachers every day.   Thanks to my husband and girls for adjusting to all the "new" crazy in our life.  I am very blessed.
