Hi Stitchers,

Now that summer is over, even though its still hot in the high 80's and even hit 90 degrees yesterday, it is time to think about the upcoming holiday season.  Autumn is also a very buy time of year for people with home town festivals, and the children starting back to school. So if you give hand-made gifts now is the time to get started - Christmas is only 3 1/2 months away.  Don't wait until the

last minute and stress about it - start now.  Halloween is still a very popular holiday for decorating homes.  Even if you don't like Halloween, most people just like to decorate with those lovely fall colors. You will notice from this newsletter that we have many new Autumn designs for your choosing.

Here's a sampling of some of the What's New:

• Elizabeth's Designs has a lovely new Halloween word , Hoo's There with an owl, and Litle Leaf Christmas Day

As you can see I've been very busy adding new designs.  New fabric colors, new buttons from Just Another Button Company, new floss colors, and more additions of clearance and discontinued patterns have been added; plus more designs that we have in our shop.  I have also been changing the size of the thumbnails as some of the older patterns had thumbnails that are too small. My goal is to have everything in our shop on our web site by year's end.  I hope I can meet my challange. So many things to do - so little time.  I have added more of those lovely kits by Thea Governeur.  You will notice that some are done on a black fabric which really makes the colors jump, and for those who do not like to stitch on black, these same designs are available on lighter fabric.  She has also introduced a new series of Zodiac Kits, Baby Sampler Kits, and designs of Skies. These are all posted under Thea Governeur Kits.

I will also be adding more Permin Kits in the future. As many of you know - Crescent Colours has had a price increase. They were originally raising the price of all flosses, but instead only increased the price of the Belle Soie floss. Some Rainbow Gallery flosses have also increased a few cents as well as some sizes of YLI Ribbon have had price increases. All increases are posted as we are notified by the manufacturers.

The By The Bay Needlearts Trunk Show was a roaring success.  We want to thank each and everyone who stopped in to see their wares - It was worth the trip.  It was very hard to pick favorites as everything has very nice.  Nothing too large and each was framed to compliment the design.  In the near future - we will have models in our shop of their Halloween Cove and Christmas Cove.  As you can see we were very inspired and intend to have other models of their designs as well.

Be sure you take a minute to sign up for our monthly newsletter. They are personally e-mailed to you each month.  For Comcast customers - make us a favorite as they sometimes bounce our newsletters and our system will automatically delete you off the mailing list. Also, they have a tendency to bounce our e-mails that notify you when your order is shipped with the tracking number.

Until next time,

Happy Stitchin',

Mary and The Staff at Ye Olde Cross Stitchery
