Dear Stitchfriends,

December 2009 Newsletter

** 25th Anniversary Month **


This will be our last Newsletter for the year. With Christmas almost upon us it is frightening how quickly the year has flown.

Hopefully you all received our bumper 25th anniversary edition of our mailout newsletter.

If you didn’t email straight back and we will put one in the post for you. Hard to believe we have been supplying stitchers for 25 years, but there you have it.

Doesn’t time fly when you are having fun.We have had a fantastic response and been really busy putting out hundreds of items of mail. It is great that so many people are stitching and explains why we have been a bit tardy with the website.

Here are a few reminders or recent additions just to keep you right up to date.

We have received the Bella Lusso fine Merino Embroidery wool from Italy and it is gorgeous. There are about 70 heavenly colours and it is $4.90 a skein. It is beautiful for working fine crewel work and excellent for Trish Burr’s designs shown below.

We also have coming in our next shipment, hand dyed wool from The Gentle Art who do over-dyed Sampler Threads. There are 34 colours in the Sampler and Shaker ranges. Great for working on dyed felt and linens. No price yet but here in a couple of weeks.

Don't forget our new page on the website for our new Stitching Clubs: Click here and find out more on our page for Stitching Clubs and Other Treats.
