Just wanted to thank you for the quick job of getting those charts to me! I went to the mailbox this afternoon and there they were! Now I'm in the process of getting all my floss together so that I can start working on it!
Thanks again and again....I'm so excited!

Hi Stitchers,
So many things have changed this past month. Prices keep going up due the oil prices, and our dollar de-value in Europe and Canada. It has been a real challange to keep up with the changes, and at the same time add new products. We are still adding the Haven and Earth, Mystic Stitch, and Michael Powel Designs. They are just taking a little longer then we expected.
Due to customer demand, we have also added more fabrics - Weeks Dye Works, Picture This Plus, Lakeside Linens, and Crossed Wing Collection hand-dyed fabrics. Some are already on our site and the rest should be appearing shortly. We also are going to sell the all over-dyed fabric in as small as 13 in. x 18 in. pieces where the yard width is 55 inches. The only spot this will not show up is under the Zweigart Over-dye category the last item under the fabrics category. We have listed 10 different fabrics under each color shown and their 1/4 yard price. You can note in the comments area the size of the piece you want, and we will adjust your order to reflect the change. We will then send you an e-mail confirmation with the price adjustment. Some of these fabric colors are also listed under their respective counts. You can also place your order there instead if you so desire. The prices are the same just the sizes show up differently with the 1/8 yard price up to the price per yard for each color. We had to do this as we did not have a swatch for all the Zweigart 250 colors and felt it would look stupid having a piece of aida under a linen category. Also, Wichelt has added new hot colors to their 14 count aida line - Tropical, Yellow, Tropical Orange, Tropical Blue, Tropical Pink, Tropical Green, and Provence Lavender. These are posted now, and in stock for immediate shipping. Opalescent colors to match will be arriving within the month.
We just received the first two pieces for the new Christmas Double Flip from Lizzie Kate. We featured the finished design last month, and I know many were awaiting the arrival. The new boxers will be delayed a bit, due to new Zweigart colors - we are told they should arrive sometime this month. If you like Little House Needlework - don't miss their new Little House Neighborhood - pictured on the right. Bobbie G designs has many new designs in her MS series - these designs contain hand-painted 14 count aida and the design - Picnic, Summer Fun, The Angler, and more. Imaginating has a Summer hang-up for the beach lover in their door banner collection, plus a Summer Time Quilt, and Trellis Birdhouse. Finally, we have received the new JBW designs - Autumn Harvest, Christmas Tree, French Country Christmas, Love and Joy Stockings, Very Merry Christmas, and a Very Merry Autumn. Their designs are fun, some only use one or two colors.
We hope to receive the new Shepherd's Bush Kits before month's end. I know alot of sites post them early, but due to us having a shop, I'd rather wait until the stock has arrived before I post the patterns. Two are done on 10 Ct. tula - Miss Liberty, and Sam, the others are on linen - Into the Night, Mermaid, and Sailaway. Last but not least - they finally have a new

needleroll - Pumpkin. In our shop we stitch the needlerolls and frame them as small samplers. We will post pictures of some of ours when we add all their kits to our site sometime in August. They have been a big hit in our shop for years.
Well enough for now - stay cool. Remember if there is ever an item that you don't see and are interested in purchasing, give us a call on our toll free number or send us an e-mail and we will try to help you with your request.
Be sure you take a minute to sign up for our monthly newsletter. Until next time,
Happy Stitchin'
