Christmas is coming!

Still, we have three weeks to finish our projects!, so don't lose heart. Sandy's still working on her grandkids' ornaments, and just started a small picture for her dad - three weeks, plenty of time!

ORNAMENT CONTEST WINNERS - First place, Mary Crichton, $15 gift certificate; second place, Reta Holland, $10 gift certificate; third place, Linda Berry, $5 gift certificate. Each entrant also received a special gift for entering - start now for next year! :-) Come see them, vote on your favorite, and check out our wonderful tree full of handmade ornaments, with lots of easy ideas for finishing.

BOOKMARK CHALLENGE - We didn't have many to turn in this time, but we have another chance come spring - Sandy's happy to give you remnants and free patterns if you'd like to participate - you could win a $100 gift certificate from Nordic Needle! The bookmarks are given to kids all over the country to encourage them to read - a doubly good reason to stitch!

Don't forget our after Christmas sale, stating at 11 AM Dec. 26!

This is a brief post because there's much stitching to be done - but we have lots of quick to finish designs here, and even some pre-Christmas half price Mill Hill ornament kits from past years! Stop in!
