July, 2024 Newsletter

THANK YOU
First and foremost a huge thank you for making June so much fun! Our first Stitch Night was memorable and truly look forward to the next. Getting to know you on a personal level is just amazing. Thank you for sharing your beautiful work and your beautiful selves. I’m the worst when it comes to remembering to take pictures and promise to do better! 😀

STITCH NIGHT
Next one is Sunday, July 14 from 4:30-8pm. Shop is open. Hearts are open. Friendships are waiting. Registration required to ensure enough space for all. Seats are filling so give me a call, email or stop by to get your name on the list. Am also interested to hear what days/nights/times work for you if this doesn’t. Am totally open to trying different things as we forge ahead. 

Let’s go! The Big 3 Sale is now through July 31st! All in stock Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas charts are now on sale! Time to pad your stash and get a head start on your holiday stitching. Or, if you’re like me, its holiday stitching all year!

2024 Big 3 Sale – Threaded Needle

TRUNK SHOWS
Both our trunk shows for our Grand Opening, My Sister’s Samplers and Frony Ritter Designs, were so well received. These designers do incredible work and we’re thrilled that their art was appreciated by you all.

Our next trunk show has shipped and should arrive within the week. We’re so honored to feature Finally a Farmgirl designs. 

We’re also beyond pleased to feature Joseph’s Woodwork. Timing on this is a bit tricky as he is assembling stuff just for us so is hesitant to commit on a time. It will be a surprise when it gets here and I promise you’ll love it! We have some of his kits in stock now and his woodwork is just divine!

AUTOMATICS
Have had a few requests for automatics. My response to that is, why of course! If there is a designer that you collect or must have and want everything they come out with, just let me know. Will add you to the list and will keep you posted as their new work arrives. Not sure which designers we carry? Here’s the link to all our designers. That changes on a regular basis. And if there’s someone that you don’t see, just let me know. Absolutely love custom requests. It’s one of the ways we grow and find new designs to stitch — Products – Threaded Needle

NEW IDEAS
Two questions for you —

Would you be interested in coming together to watch a movie and stitch? LIke Hamilton, or Disney or The Greatest Showman? Or TV shows like Outlander, NCIS, etc.? Let me know if that sparks your interest. 

How about a book club? Read the book, then come together to talk about it and stitch the night away? 

IN CLOSING
New charts, fabrics, threads, etc. are ordered every week. If there’s something you’re looking for and don’t see it, let me know and we’ll do our best to get it. Some distributors and designers ship wicked fast and others are a bit on the slow side. We’ll manage that for you and let you know when they arrive.

Right now, Mill Hill products are only carried by one distributor. And they ship anywhere from 4-6 weeks. My latest order is over 7 weeks out. What does Mill Hill include besides beads and their fabulous kits? Perforated paper. The black perforated paper has been on backorder for forever. My latest order from Wichelt has finally shipped, 7 weeks later, and the black perforated paper didn’t make the cut. We will keep trying to get it in, but it will be a while unfortunately. 

36 ct. Agave Edinburgh is a fabric that has been backordered by all three distributors for months now. Every week I order it and every week it is backordered by each. We will keep trying, but just keeping you in the loop.

Gosh, so much to talk about in this newsletter! Hope you have a glorious July and enjoy your summer. Come visit! There’s nothing like a visit from stitching friends.
