Dear Stitchfriends,
February 2010 Newsletter
Well the Holidays are well and truly over and the kids back at school and now the great weather starts. Quite hard getting back into it all but the summer weather is a great excuse for stitching as it’s too hot to do much else in the afternoons. Well that’s how we justify it anyway.
We have a few new things to show you and tell you about.
We have put up the details of our Stitching Clubs for this year on our website, so if you are not already signed up for something, go to Stitching Clubs and Other Treats and have a look. I am sure you can find something to tempt you.

This is the Christmas Issue which is always a bit late for us but still has great ideas to consider for next year. This magazine is a wonderful source of inspiration for things French, Country, and shabby chic. Text is in French, but the pictures tell it all. If you do read French there are yummy recipes. |
