A new page has been added to the website: DESIGN OF THE MONTH. Each month we will present one of our patterns available at a 20% discount during that month. Often companion kits listed on the specific pattern page are available at the same discount. Please visit the Color Schemes! I would love to have some feedback and look forward to your comments. Many of you requested that we show all of our patterns on the website and our new online catalog now includes every design in our collection. Articles have been added on extra wide pillows kits, on lumbar "good for your back" pillow kits, on history of patterns, and more. Find details on the blog - click on "W" symbol in the side bar and then "Blog" in the top bar for current information.
Pattern: Anatolia
For the first time we include examples of our Upholstery & Stool Tops patterns, Rugs, Runners & Throws, as well as a myriad of small items and bags….something for everyone – from beginner to experienced stitcher. Since interior lighting is so variable, we photograph our stitched samples in natural daylight to give the truest possible color rendition.
With the introduction of our SPECIAL OFFERS page you now have the opportunity to take advantage of our Introductory Offer (excludes only the Learning Kit) and periodic specials at a reduced price.
We also added an updated "Links" page where in addition to our own links to facebook and our wordpress blog, mailing address and phone number, we are listing websites we have found of interest to us and we want to share those with you. More links will be added as we discover them.
Happy Stitching!
News Details
NEW JUTE FABRIC and AFFECTED SIZE CHANGES
The jute fabric we used in the past has changed from 32" wide to 48", and the thread count is now closer to 12 per inch. Jute, being a natural fiber, is not always exactly the same as a man-made material. Since our stitch is 2 over 2 threads, all new orders will be shipped reflecting 6 stitches per inch which makes pillow sizes more accurate. While we try to be as accurate as possible, sizes shown on the pattern pages in the online store, in both inches and centimeters, are based on the new fabric count size and are approximate +/- one half inch.
Recently we posted on our blog a better solution to working on jute without having to deal with loose jute fibers. Please visit the blog post for the information on preparing the jute before stitching.

To thank you for your past loyalty and adventurous spirit, we created a new page in the Online Store featuring a series of color & pattern coordinated kits.
