Just a quick update! Stitcher's Motto has been shipped to our distributors and should be available by the end of next week. This was a fun stitch for me, it hit on a personal note, that's for sure! Decorative boxes, baskets and even an old apothacary jar all hold various craft supplies in our house. I do have a large area for storage but some things I need to have close at hand. What looks like an ordinary family room is actually a gold mine of floss, fabric, hoops, frames and assorted needful things...you just have to know where to look! So where do you hide your stash???

I love January. It's a new beginning, a time to reflect on what was, and a month filled with anticipation for all that lies ahead. I'm slowing starting to revamp the website behind the scenes and if all goes well it will be done in the next few weeks. Until then, please excuse the mess and if you have any questions just drop me a line! 

Our newest chart, Stitched With Love has been sent to our distributors and will be available in the next week or so. Auto-ships were sent on Friday (12-28)  but there may be a slight delay in delivery due to the holiday. New charts for February are just about ready to go. More info on them as the site is updated in the next few weeks.

I will be teaching a class in wool applique in March at the Stitching Friends Retreat in Syracuse NY. The retreat is an annual event put on by :

Our free chart, Blessed Be is still available. Just click here if  you haven't already downloaded it. You will need Adobe Reader installed on your computer to open and print it. (Adobe Reader is free and available for download on the Adobe website) Just click here to see the chart!  With a little luck another free chart will be posted soon. (did I mention time is moving faster than I am these days??)

That's it for now! Thank you all for your continued support, fun emails and phone calls. This job is the best and you all make it even better! I wish you all a wonderful 2008!
