Arriving soon!


Image result for clip art happy fall


Good morning! I hope everyone had a nice weekend. Mine was very busy and went fast (as usual). I did finish a cross stitch project last week...YEAH!....and have now started a new one. This one will take a little longer to finish but it is amazing how much you can get done during a football game. 

Take a look at some of the new designs that will be arriving soon. A future project could be on the way.

COMING SOON!

Goodbye Hurricane Matthew!

Image result for clipart hurricane

I hope everyone who was in the path of this storm stayed safe. My nephew (whose name is Matthew) had fun earlier in the week by saying he was "a walking disaster".  Of course, this isn't very far from the truth being a 14 year old boy. He and the rest of my family stayed in Mt. Pleasant during the storm. Everyone is fine, no damage to the house and only a short period of time with no power. 

I know you don't want to know but......there are only 76 days until Christmas (YIKES). Time to get those needles flying and get those holiday projects finished.

REMINDER: The Fall Custom Framing Special is still going on (it ends on Oct. 18th). This is a great time to get your holiday framing done.


COMING SOON!

From Hands on Design
This is the 6th design in a series of pincushion blocks. It features many old fashioned sewing motifs. Too cute!

Only 28 days till Halloween

Image result for clipart halloween

Wow, only 28 days until Halloween. I'm not really counting down the days in anticipation of Halloween but once it arrives then Thanksgiving and Christmas come very quickly thereafter. It is hard to believe that this year is almost over. Where does the time go? 

There are many new designs coming to the shop soon, so take a peek at what's on the way. There could be a great gift idea arriving soon.

COMING SOON
