IT'S HERE....PUNCH NEEDLE & PRIMITIVE STITCHER

ON SALE NOW!


The premier issue has arrived and it is fabulous!  There are several cross stitch designs to stitch, a couple of punch needle designs and a hooked flower mat, using simple proddy pieces.  Proddy is a way to use up all those bits and pieces of wool that cannot be cut into hooking strips and that we cannot bear to throw away.  Here's 2 pics from this issue.

I NEED A GOOD HOME

I have been adopted and gone to a good home!! 

WILL YOU ADOPT ME?????

Hi, I'm a Flower Cart who has had a home with Just Cross Stitch for about the last 10 years, so I have been inside and protected.  I'm about 5-6 foot tall  and about 45 inches from my handle to the edge of my wheels.  I'm painted a creamy color with gold accents and green wheels....although I could probably be repainted.

I need a new home.  My owner needs the space for additional racks and I just don't provide enough usage for the shop any longer.

All you have to do is check me out and tell Carolyn you want me and give me a nice new  home.  Oh, yes, you must be able to transport me to my new home in a pickup, unless you want to wheel me all the way there.

Hurry, before someone else claims me!

SWEET SUMMER FROM LIZZIE KATE

Available from Memorial Day to Labor Day, this kit will be retired when Lizzie Kate puts away her white shoes at the end of the summer.  The kit includes 25ct cream Dublin linen, watery turquoise beads, iridescent fiber for the drink and sunglasses and a really cool seashell trim.

Reserve your copy today.  I will be placing an order  on Saturday, so reserve your kit.  Don't miss out on this quick, cute project as it may never return to the shop.

LESSON TWO...SERIAL BOWL COLLECTION

Lesson Two of the Serial Bowl Collection from Plum Street Samplers is here decked out in red, white and blue.  Reserve your copy of the chart with floss today as I have a limited number available.  Her kits are limited and Lesson One kit has been sold out.  This is stitched on 36ct Winter Brew from R&R Reproductions.

NEW FABRICS

You know, we're always getting in new linen colors.  We just got in 2 new Permin linen colors.... 32ct Antique Lambswool and 30ct Sandstone/Tea dyed.  I tried to scan them in the computer to get a pic to show you, but it didn't turn out well, so I'll try and describe them.  The Antique Lambswool is between DMC 841 and 842, a beautiful color and also comes in a 35ct.  The Sandstone/Tea Dyed is almost an exact match to DMC 739 and would be great for sampler stitching.  Stop by and check them out.

STASH TO TREASURE SALE

Our annual STASH TO TREASURE SALE is scheduled for Saturday May 23 from 10-3.

If  you are new to our shop or blog, the STASH TO TREASURE SALE accepts donations of unwanted charts, fabric or anything to do with cross stitch.  We display the donations on Saturday and our customers come in and go through them and find 'new treasures' from the 'stash'.  They make a cash or check donation to take their new 'treasures' home and 100% of all the  donations received are forwarded to St. Jude's Children's Hospital.  

Last year we raised over $1,000 for St. Jude's.

We are coming up to the last days.  We are now accepting donations....old charts, unfinished projects you know you'll never finish, kits you'll never stitch as your tastes have changed, linen you can't use anymore because you can't see the count....anything in the field of cross stitch.  We'll take it and offer your stash to a new home, as a treasure.

The last day we'll accept donations will be Saturday May 16.  This will allow us to go through the donations and organize them for easy viewing on Saturday May 23rd.  The last couple of years, the boxes have stayed available into the next week for several days.  Then, anything, not spoken for will be donated to Souderton's Care and Share.

Here's a pic of last year's stash in boxes on the tables.  This wasn't all as there was another table in the back of the shop, but it gives you an idea of some of the 'goodies' that we received.

POSTCARDS FROM THE HEARTc

Three new designs are being added to Summer House Stitche Workes series of Postcards from the Heart....Flora, Home and Memory.  Check them out.  They should be arriving shortly.  Use items from your stash to create these beautiful designs.
