What's around the corner? Plus Open Hours

Open for drop-in shopping!
Thursday and Friday
1:00pm - 4:00pm

We are open by appointment Tuesday through Saturday for individual shopping (it's okay to bring a friend!) from 10:00am - 4:00pm (except as noted above Thursday/Friday).

Please use this link to reserve a time for individual in-store shopping that suits your schedule.  

As our local COVID numbers continue to limit our ability to move to the next phase of opening we will continue with this blend of available hours.  We are excited for re-opening but want to do so in a smart way and do our part to help mitigate the ongoing spread of COVID-19, we really want those schools re-open for business!  

We have implemented a few changes to our shop layout and business practices to help maintain social distancing, upgraded sanitizing efforts and require that all customers wear facial coverings for the duration of their visit.  We appreciate everyone doing their part to take care of our community.

With all the COVID shut-downs and changes to our daily routines, it's been hard to keep track of the calendar....but we're always in the mood for fall and halloween fabrics here!  

Crescent Tote with Glittery Canvas

A recent make - this bag was gifted to a 2020 college graduate - black canvas with gold metallic - perfect for fall!  The Crescent Tote pattern by Noodlehead is another great pattern and versatile in both style and size.  Not too bulky to stash at your feet with your projects for a car trip or staycation camping trip or beach day!

Spellcaster's Garden by Meg Hawkey 

Hocus Pocus by Echo Park for Riley Blake 

Northcott Wicked Fabrics

Here's a fun stitchery pattern - embellished with a bit of crayon for added color and impact...and a few seed beads for added sparkle!  We have the pattern and beads ready to go...there's time to get this stitched up for the season!

Happy Stitching!

Handwork and wool applique

Fall weather is sneaking up on us, and with it getting dark earlier and it just seems right to spend a bit more time stitching by hand and adding a bit of wool to the mix.  Here are some of our latest wool and hand stitching projects. 

Winter Bushel pattern by Tracy Souza from Plum Cute Designs

Winter Bushel is a beautiful stitching pattern created by Tracy Souza. Her work was recently featured on Martingale's Shop Talk Blog. They shared a video with tips on how to eliminate knots in the back of your embroidery. Take a look here!  Thank you Karla for helping get our sample made...this makes a fun bag to hang on the porch or door, filled with greens fresh or faux! 

Wool Barn, pattern by Sew Cherished

Sew Cherished has created several patterns combing wool and stitching - these metal trays are fun to display these oval mats, of course on the wall or a table surface works too.  Adventuring into wool appliqué is always a great project to work on in the fall and perfect as a travel project you can prep in advance. We stock patterns and a selection of wool and brushed cotton for this project style.  Thanks Deana for the fine craftsmanship on this sample! 

Stacy Nash's Primitive Designs 

We've added a few cross-stitch patterns to our collection.  These are from Stacy Nash's Primitive Design - some special designs for those who love cross-stitch.  Nash is a self-taught stitcher who makes her own designs, based out of Indianapolis.  We couldn't pass up these lovely pure beeswax "waxers".  Beeswax is a great way to keep thread from tangling up and ends from fraying during your stitching.

Special stitches and wool projects

Little Baskets
by Tracy Souza

Looking for a new English Paper Piecing project?  We've got kits (buttons included) for this lovely Little Basket stitchery.  The quilt pattern includes 4 different seasonal floral stitchery motifs with baskets and finishes 24 inches square.  We picked our favorite basket and framed a single block.  A great combination of fabric, thread and embellishments!  

Got Wool?!

Come on down to the shop and check out our new wool and stitching display complete with fun new samples, patterns and kits!

Things are getting festive!

The Witch is in, and so is our selection of Halloween fabrics - not just for quilts!  Pillowcases, placemats and even some pioneer girl costumes from our reproduction fabrics are in the works around town!

Have you tried a bit of crayon added to your stitching?  The added color can be subtle or stronger like our sample shown below.  We kind of like this piece - set for framing or a pillow.  We've added a few beads too!

EEK! Pattern by Plumcute Designs

We're trying to refrain from a bowl of trick or treat candy - it's too early, right?  But you can keep your hands busy with a stitchery project or two and Halloween will be here before you know it.
