News and Newsletters

The first of the month means there are shop newsletters to enjoy.  Amy Bunger's is up on her website if you don't subscribe to receive it in your email In Box.  There's a photo of the latest Halloweenies character in Amy's Home Study set and a great tutorial on how to attach a small NP canvas to a tote bag.  And there's more!  Here's the link.

Mary Corbet has redone her video about stem stitches to include instruction for left handed folks and information about shading with stem stitches.  This I am going to watch since I use stem stitch a lot in my pieces.

Pocket Full of Stitches is treating us to canvases and threads in the Color of the Year (as per Pantone which does color trends).  The color is called Honeysuckle. It is the rosy pink that you might find in angel cheeks or the center of a dark pink rose.

In Stitches of Atlanta has their in stock painted canvases on sale at 25% off (and some are 50% off) through January 8.  Sadly, their website doesn't show what's in stock but perhaps you can jet down to Atlanta and check it out.

Ridgewood is busy doing inventory so they know what they need to restock when they head out to the TNNA trade show later this week.  This wouldn't be news (most shops are doing their year-end inventory right now) except they are practicing taking photos so they can update their blog from the show floor with all the goodies available.  Thanks!  We stay-at-home types appreciate being able to see everything right away so we can plan our purchases and shop orders for 2011.
