One Last Fling and Holiday Finishing & Framing

Hey, how about one last fling before the 2011 holiday season hits us! We're holding a STITCH NIGHT, during the day, on Sunday November 6. We'll start at 12:00 noon and stitch thru the afternoon enjoying the company of fellow stitchers and enjoying drinks and snacks. Cost is $10.00.

For those who want to stay thru into the evening, we can talk about ordering some dinner in or bring a sandwich. Stitching will end at 8:00 P.M., or earlier, depending on what you want to do.

Email me at justcrossstitch@rcn.com or call 215-513-9373 for reservations. Seating is limited.
Please be prepared to hold your reservation with a non-refundable $5.00 deposit. A credit card number will hold the reservation.

Don't forget for those who live in the area, we have a free stitching on the 3rd Wednesday of the month from 6:30 to 8:30. This is a small group and if 2 don't come, sometimes we cancel. So, if you are new to the group, please call first and make sure we are still stitching that evening. Everyone is invited; new and experienced stitchers welcomed!


HOLIDAY FINISHING: Our finisher has determined that all projects must be in by November 1 to guarantee return of finished items by December 15th.

HOLIDAY FRAMING: Any framing accepted before November 19th will be available before Christmas.

Here's the long awaited pattern from Blackbird Designs - number 2 of 3 in the 2011 Loose Feathers series. According to Alma, it's currently at the printers and should be in the hands of the distributors in about 2 weeks, who will then send it to the shoppes. So it is on it's way.




Here are some new charts that should be arriving in the shop by early next week. Of course, since I'm a great lover of Quaker, I love the Christmas design. I also like this tea design, since I'm a tea drinker, but I'd get rid of the fringes and maybe just frame it.

Mystery Sampler Coming in October

Lori of LaDDa owns an antique sampler created by Margaret Cottam, aged 9, in 1807. Using this sampler and Lori's unique stype of design, the results are an incredible sampler. This preview pictue shows the bonus piece, included on the first release, and the color palette. There will be 3 patterns in the series. The first will detail the bottom of the sampler and yes, it will be worked from the bottom up! The second release features the middle and the third will complete the piece with the top of the design. The sampler size is 170w x 200h and is stitched on WDW Cocoa linen, your choice of 30, 35 or 40ct. It uses a total of 8 Weeds Dye Works fibers. The first release will be mid October, followed by part 2 and 3 in November and December.
