NASHVILLE HERE WE COME

Staying the night about 2 hours east of Nashville. Hit some misty rains tonight.  Started around six pm and continued so we found a hotel room where it's safe and warm.  Will travel into Franklin area tomorrow, do some shopping...cross stitch, antiques and vintage and check into the Embassy Suite hotel Friday afternoon for shopping Friday night, Saturday and Sunday.

While on the way down, we didn't push so we made some stops.  Found some great tins to mount cross stitch on.  I had seen a pic a while ago.  Loved it since I had stitched the same piece, and wanted to find a tin on which to mount it.  And I did here in Tennessee.  Actually found 2 sizes.  One is about 9x7 and the other 7x5.  Bought the store out of their stock and will be bringing them back to Just Cross Stitch where they will be on Wednesday Marcy 9 when I reopen the shop.

Stay tuned for more updates on purchases that will be making their way back to Lederach.

Check out this pic of cross stitch mounted on a tin.

Secondly, we will be closed the  first week of the month to attend our trade show in Tennessee.  So get what you need to carry you over this coming week.  There will be no First Sunday  hours in March.  We will reopen Wednesday March 9 with the goodies we purchased at market.  Go go  2016 Nashville Needlework Market in facebook and check out sneak peeks.  If you see something you want, let me know this week and I will try and pick it up for you.

Our First Friday stitch is postponed until March 11th.

NASHVILLE MARKET 2016

We're a month away from a great experience....the Nashville Needlework Market for shop owners.   On March 4-6, we'll get to see what's new in the needlework world and get to bring it home for YOU! We will visit over 100 rooms in the Embassy Suites hotel,  with designers showing off their stitched designs in their living room.    The shop will be closed March 2-6 so we can attend this great event.

You'll be seeing a lot of sneak peeks from designers out there and if there is anything you see, give me a call and I'll be glad to pick it up at market for you.

One of the sites on facebook is The Nashville Needlework Market, offered by the sponsors of the show.  Click on this highlighted area and you will go directly to the site.  Designers are posting pics here, too.  Check it out.

Again, please mark the shop closing for the week and give me a call if you want to order a new design.
