Happy May!
I hope you are all having a fabulous Spring as we slowly return to a "better" normal, even if it looks a little different than two years ago! I love that everyone has developed such a passion for stitching. Myself along with my needlepoint experts are having so much fun meeting all the new and returning stitchers. There are lots of things happening at the shop so I'm going to get right to hit.
We have a 3 day embellishment class this weekend. WE WILL NOT BE HOSTING ANY OPEN STITCHING FRIDAY OR SATURDAY. We are open for shopping and Dottie is ready to help you with anything you need. I am looking forward to having some time to actually participate in class! Feel free to come by and just check out everyone's projects; the variety will amaze you!
TRUNK SHOWS:
