Happy Spring!

It is really starting to look and feel like SPRING here in Richmond and we are happy to be celebrating the season!  We are shopping today for some outdoor furniture for our lovely patio!  We hope you will join us for one of our Stitch-Ins and come enjoy some fresh air while you share your appreciation of the art of needlepoint with fellow stitchers.  On-going Stitch-Ins: every Thursday, 10-12 and the Second Saturday of each month, 1-4.

April is bringing many exciting events to The Stitching Studio and Gift Boutique including a trunk show by The Canvasworks, "A Taste of Silk" thread-tasting party, a Designer of the Week, and a canvas embellishments class.  Email, call, or check our website for more information.

From Kathy - at the TNNA market in Long Beach, California

I have had a blast here in Long beach, connecting with old friends and making new ones.  The volume of canvases presented here is mind boggling.  I have tried to guess what our customers want and hope I have made some choices that will excite and encourage your needlepoint pursuits.  Come in and see us soon.  New items arriving daily.  The trunk show schedule for 2011 is just about set and it is exciting!!  Watch for more news coming!
