October 2010

 

Greetings! October has arrived, and along with it comes The Stitchers’ Village Scavenger Hunt! See page 3 of the newsletter for details. At the TNNA market in St. Charles, MO last month, some very kind designers contributed charts to the prize package for the Scavenger Hunt. I would like to take this time to thank them for their kindness. I must admit that I did not get the opportunity to visit with all the designers on site while I was there. It is a bit overwhelming to try to visit without interrupting when customers were with them and I did not always have the chance to return. It was a lot of fun, however, and there are lots of new things, so check with the TSV shops to see what new things they have added to their sites!! We will be hosting a Stitch Along on Halloween weekend in cooperation with Cheryl Granda of Glendon Place. She is designing a TSV exclusive Halloween design that will be available a little later in the month. She will then host a chat in the TSV chat room on Saturday, October 30th. (See page 5)

September Competition drawing winner: Betti Abrecht Will receive a project bag along with the following charts provided by The Stitchers’ Village: “Color Delights - Cocoa” by Needle Delights Originals (specialty stitches on mono canvas) “I Sigh Not For Beauty” by C Street Samplerworks (counted cross stitch) “Fetch” by Angel Stitching (counted cross stitch with embroidered flower embellishments) “Bookmark 1 - Moon” by Moonflower Designs “Nesting” by Goos Nest (wool appliqué)
