"Best Friends Forever" #2 in the Village Home Series

by Stitchers' Village Designs

from designer Cheryl Granda of Glendon Place

The all-new Stitchers' Village came about after a conversation last February at the Nashville TNNA market. A very nice shop owner suggested that I make the site "more like Ravelry". That is a yarn/ knitting site, so, in a sense I was “comparing apples and oranges", TSV is intended to incorporate all types of stitching (although, it has been mostly counted thread). After months of planning and some trial and error with web design companies, the 1st stage of the change is up and running. I am asking for member assistance in needlework project and stash postings to inspire fellow stitchers. Please get involved! Help make TSV the premier needlework site! You will notice some major changes.  Catalog your stitching stash!  Link to your photo hosting to display your stitching projects.  Sell your hand-made items in the forum topic "Needle Made Market".  Now, there is only 1 site with all the features together - social - information - activties Visit and explore the Village. Everyone can still visit the site and access information as always, but you must register and sign in to post in forums and groups, inventory your stash, or post a project.
