Newsletter-October 2010
Dear Stitchfriends,
October 2010 Newsletter
The year is now rocketing along at an alarming rate. The arrival of daylight saving is always a bit of a jolt as it makes me start to panic about all the things that I was going to do this year that haven't happened yet. This is of course why the end of the year always builds up to fever pitch.We have had some interesting new products come in lately and with Christmas just around the corner we have included some seasonal designs as well.
We have a new shipment of Ehrman Tapestries so if you are wanting to earmark something for yourself for Christmas come in and have a look or give us a call.We have a new distribution arrangement now so basically anything you see on the website can be received pretty quickly.
We also have new supplies of wool blanketing and lovely warm colours of wool fabric from Moda which is great for wool embroidery projects. Vintage is the theme at the moment and these wool fabrics make gorgeous bags and cushions and whatever else takes your fancy. Fabulous colours $65.00 per metre.
So hopefully you will find something here to inspire and there's still time to fit in something for yourself before the mad rush begins.
