Stitch Night and What's New in the Shop

In Stitches' stitch nights are the first and third Wednesdays of the month, from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. Everyone has fun stitching and doing show and tell and nibbling and talking. In fact, we would have had more photos of the participants' work if a certain photographer hadn't been wolfing down the mini piggies (tiny pigs in blankets) and apple pie and then working on her own new start!

Here are a few pics for your enjoyment: Jan's "Peppermint Twist" by Blue Ribbon Designs.


Connie's knitting a baby blanket--and thank you for the piggies!


Sherry's project--"Needle and Thread," by Little House Needleworks:


Something new in the shop: "Roses de Mai" by Reflets de Soie:


Which Glenna started last night (40 count Lakeside vintage Magnolia and AVAS fibers):


We all enjoyed seeing the many new needlepoint canvases that Ellen brought back from Dallas. Here are just two of the many super cute Easter canvases with a few threads pulled just as a suggestion:



A shop model of "Blue Mountain Bunny" by Sweetheart Tree.


The "Carrot Patch" pin cushion kit by Just Another Button Company:


Here's a shot of the kit's contents:


"Easter Greetings" Takealongs kit by Trilogy:


"My Family Tree" by Willow Hill Samplings.
