NEEDLEWORK COMMUNITY

Cherry Hill Stitchery has ended her design career and is moving on to new adventures. Just ordered quite a bit at Needlework Marketplace, but once that’s gone, we cannot reorder. This includes her wonderful needleminders. Change can be a bitter pill sometimes. We are fortunate to have had her beautiful designs for the time that we did.

EVENTS

Pajama Party HOTEL UPDATE: We are down to the final rooms in the discounted block. Because there’s a gymnastics meet the same weekend, we aren’t able to get more rooms at the discounted rate. I did add in a few more, but that’s it. Don’t delay too long! 

Registrations continue to come in for the Pajama Party! Don’t miss out! Register today!

PAJAMA PARTY (Pajama Party)
March 13-15, 2026
Hilton Garden Inn Worcester, MA

SAL: American Flag Quilt Sampler by Rosewood Manor

Our 3rd meeting of this year-long SAL was just so much fun! Lots of progress from each of us. We are all at different stages and have chosen different paths in getting this done. This is the type of piece that is just so fun to stitch. Here’s the latest pic of some of the pieces –

We meet the 4th Sunday of each month, 5-8PM with the next session on Oct. 26. Subsequent Sundays are Nov. 23, Dec. 28, Jan. 25, Feb. 22, Mar. 22, Apr.  26, June 28 (final). 

If you join via Zoom, please watch for the call-in info. It is posted on Facebook several hours before the start time. 

Change of venue for the Nov. 23rd gathering. We will meet at Appletree Fabrics Quilt Shop in Auburn, Home | Appletree Fabrics | 850 Southbridge St Auburn, MA 01501. This one session will be open to all even if you aren’t stitching this sampler. Those that are, it’s a great opportunity to meet others involved in the SAL and share stitching stories of each state’s square. While their meeting space is much larger than Threaded Needle’s, registration is appreciated as folks from both shops will attend.
