NEW TITLES
We've had a busy week, just getting back from the Baltimore Show and having the monthly get together of the Black Hat Society. Also, I got a chance to go to the Quilt Show in Oaks, PA and was very impressed. Beautiful fabric, beautiful quilts and beautiful wool, the real reason I went. Got some projects and some fabric I just couldn't pass. You know, sometimes, something just calls out to you and I couldn't resist.
Here are some pics of new titles in the shoppe:
From Sue Hillis Designs - 2 new charts for Christmas ornaments
From Homespun Elegance, 3 new ornaments and a season:
The 2012 Christmas Ornament Issue from Just Cross Stitch magazine:

SEPTEMBER NEWS AND EVENTS
The best laid plans of mice and men.......they often go astray. Guess you know that quote. Well I know it today. Just sent out an email to my followers and a big long list was returned to me because my email was too large. Never before has this happened. Going to eliminate an attachment and hope I can resend (unfortunately to everyone) and that everyone will receive it.
Can you believe it's Labor Day Weekend coming up, already? I can't, but I'm sure ready for the fall to come. This summer's been a hard one. Although now they say we'll have colder weather this winter than usual and more snowfall. We just can't seem to win. So I guess I'm going to have to remind everyone to call first and make sure I'm here on really wintry days.
So, here's what's new for September:
1. We will be open this Saturday 9/1 from 10-3 and Sunday 9/2 from 11-2. Come join us for the LAST DAYS OF SUMMER EVENT. Everything in the shoppe will be discounted 20%. Frequent Buyer Cards will not be punched or redeemed. September Summer Coupon may be used but can't be combined with this discount.
2. The shoppe WILL BE CLOSED FRIDAY AND SATURDAY 9/8 AND 9/9 to attend the Cash and Carry Needlework Market in Baltimore, MD. We're going to check out over 100 designers' and distributors' booths. Am expecting lots of goodies - new charts, flosses, fabric......Can't wait to bring it all home. Check us out on Tuesday Sept. 11 for new stuff.
3. Coming in September, we will be selling 100% WOOL for all your wool applique, penny rug and hooking needs. We will be carrying Weeks Dye Works wool, hand dyed in a variety of colors, all of which match their beautiful over-dyed flosses. They hand-dye the wool in solids along with houndstooth and herringbone designs, which will add texture, detail and dimension to your pieces. We will also be carrying patterns and kits relating to wool applique and penny rugs. We will be adding these over the rest of the fall season. We will also be offering classes this fall. Stay tuned for more on WOOLS.
4. Just a reminder about the RUG HOOKING CLASS on Sat. Sept. 22 from 12-4. Check the previous post for more info. Still have room available.
5. A.M. STITCH GROUP - Come and join others to sit and stitch on the 4th Wednesday of the month (next date is 9/26) from 9-12. If you don't drive at night, this is perfect for you. Bring a project and enjoy the company of fellow stitchers. As this is still new, please give me a head's up if you are planning to attend.
If you can't make this day stitch group, don't forget we have an evening group that meets the 3rd Wednesday of the month (next one is 9/19) from 6:30 to 8:30). Come give us a try.
6. PIZZA NIGHT - FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 29 from 4-9. $15.00 fee is payable at time of registration.
Pizza will be served around 6PM. Come early or come late because you don't want to miss out on the fun.
Well, guess this is enough for now. Questions and reservations can be made at 215-513-9373.

What's New?
Here's a pic of the last.....September Word Play. Hard to believe it started almost a year ago. We've enjoyed them all. Don't have them all stitched, but they are coming along.
Lila's Studio, our local designer, brought in a new one and you can see it and a companion piece finished.
Lila brought in her 2 framed pieces for Witch's Brew and Old Witch Mary. I really like the verse on this design and I might have to do it.
Part 2 of Lizzie Kate's Halloween Mystery Sampler is in and available. Next week she ships her auto and we're expecting Unwrap the Joy, the annual Santa 2012 snippet. Tiny Tidings XVII and embellishments will arrive. The next inspirational boxer will be available: Faith, Hope and Love. And last but not least, the first 3 of her new series will be available....Six Snow Belles! This series is the 'female' version of last year's 6 Fat Men. They are created and stitched like the 6 Fat Men and can be assembled into one piece and use most of the same colors.
