HOT ENOUGH FOR YOU?


OK, that's very cliched - but it IS really hot here just now! Just Another Button Co. even created this design for the day of commemoration, July 23 - it was fun to stitch, which Sandy did before it got hot! It's one of several FREE patterns she's done recently - check them out in our front window, and come get your copy. Next up is "Sneak Zucchini Night" - Aug. 8 - sneak your extras onto your neighbor's porch!

Speaking of free patterns, there are several from a new design company in Kennewick WA, Ink Circles: http://www.inkcircles.com/html/free_charts.html . We have some of their designs, including a Norwegian Rosemaling (in cross stitch) pattern and a cute cowboy.

Other new designs are some cute Christmas ornaments from Leisure Arts, Mill Hill's Santa's Closet ornaments with beads and treasures, Mirabilia's White Christmas...feel cool yet? :-)

Lizzie Kate has many sweet new patterns, including A Brother, Winter Wishes, Just Be Claus, Think Summer and Autumn Things. We have several of Passione Ricamo's fairies; the newest Britty Kitties is here, #V from Brittercup Designs; Heart in Hand's latest, Birds of a Feather and Gardening Medley; and Stoney Creek's Happy Everything, to name a few. You can always check for what's coming out at http://hoffmandis.com; they now post them every Friday! Please let us know what you'd like!

If you missed the Zweigart tree skirt sale - less than half price! - we have some extras - take advantage of this special offer. Even unstitched they will look terrific under anyone's tree this year.

We found some wonderful stitching tips at this website - http://www.scarletquince.com/tips.php - everything from stitching supplies to methods to cleaning...

Stop in, get cool, find a new project, ask for your 10% DISCOUNT FOR AUGUST...And keep on stitching!
