"By the Sea" #5 in the Village Home Series from Stitchers' Village Designs

by Erik Shipley of Ship's Manor

 

We are looking forward to a great year at The Stitchers’ Village. We are getting back to business after the big move and starting new activities, such as the ATC Exchange (Artist Trading Cards). This is a hugely popular format and the added stitching element should make for some lovely creations. It will be the first of many, I am sure, as this has a great following and we can all start our albums for future exchanges! I am looking forward to this! I have a lot of favorites, though, and it has been difficult to choose what to stitch! There is also a member contest “Heart of the Village” with a deadline of January 31, 2015 for entries. In-site messaging has been activated, which will help with communication in the Village. That should be the last remaining major update for the new community and we may now focus on activities and fun. Remember, it is YOUR community and you may start a group or forum for new activities or ideas you have.

This month’s birthday drawing winner is Donna T., NC: will receive #5 in the Village Home Series “By the Sea” designed by Erik Shipley of Ship’s Manor!
