Nashville 3

Greetings, all! We hope this post finds you well and ready to stitch.

On today's menu: Fresh Silk and Linen Berries. There are more designs, which we will be getting back into the shop--they flew off the shelves. [Edited to add: They're already back in stock--come get yours!]

We have lots of fabrics, as you can see.

My favorite: sparkly fabrics.

Here's Patricia, cutting some Picture This Plus for a customer.

We have two new peacock samplers: "Peacock Sampler" by Victoria Sampler, and

"The Persian Bird" by Summer House Stitche Workes and comes with a real peacock feather.

"Feniscowles Hall 1824" by Heartstring Samplery:

The Scarlett House's "Center Point Sampler."

Barbara Ana's "Strawberry Harvest."

By Summer House Stitche Workes: "Galileo's Telescope."

The Blackbird Design ladies have taken some of their classic Christmas designs and added some new ones for this album:  "Home for the Holidays."

A design from the "Tender Heart Series."

"Tall House Needlebook" by La-D-Da.

More beautiful designs by With Thy Needle and Thread: "Where Hearts Rest."

"Forget Me Not."

"Red Bird Fraktur."

And some lovely new designs by Stacy Nash Primitives:  "Jack's House Pinkeep."

"Spotted Pigs Pinkeep."

"Wooly's Pinkeep."

Stitch this darling rabbit for Easter: "Camillo," by Alessandra Adelaide Needleworks.

Last but not least, we have some new, very beautifully made tools in the shop: on one end a seam ripper and on the other, a laying tool. They are substantial in your hands and tools for a lifetime of happy stitching.

The inspiring Woodlawn Plantation Needlework Show is in full swing and takes place throughout March every day but Tuesday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. (They are closed Easter Sunday, I believe.) We are just down the street, so please drop by and visit us! Congratulations to the winners and to all the exhibitors who pour their hearts and talent into their craft and then share it so we can all enjoy.

To order or for questions, please call us at 703-360-4600. We are located at 8800 F Pear Tree Village, on Route 1 in the Mount Vernon Section of Alexandria (look for the McDonalds). Throughout the month of March because of the Woodlawn Show, we are open seven days a week--Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and on Sundays from 12:30-4.  except for Easter Sunday; Stitch nights are the first and third Wednesdays of the month, from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m.

Happy Stitching!
