Happy Summer Everyone! I'm excited to be able to do some summer stitching outside and with the bright sunshine, this time of year its the best time to tackle projects with Black fabric.
This newsletter is all about fabric, fabric and fabric ... plus some hints about my July Anniversary Sale starting on Canada Day!
It's been 7 years since I started my business and its been wonderful. I also past 1 year in my warehouse space at Shedpoint and I am loving having monthly Drop in Stitching Afternoons!
I have expanded my open hours for the summer, Tuesday 10-4pm and now both Saturday 12-5pm AND Sunday 1-5pm. I am still booking personal appointment shopping and you can email to set up a Facebook Consult if you are out of town.
Make sure to visit the website next month but I will sending out an email with details the first week. There will be hand dyed fabric specials and pattern specials all month.
Happy "Summer" Stitching,
Jennifer Care

Embroidery Tip of the Month
Being flexible with your thread colours!
There are still delays with ordering some of the fabric brands like Kreinik, Rainbow Gallery and Gentle Art Sampler Threads so sometime you may need to switch up some of the threads.
After we completed inventory we added (In Stock) labels to all the thread-lines with Limited Stock. That way you can see if the called for colour is out of stock and you can browse other colours to see what might work.
We are also here to help you as well ... email if you would like help in picking out colours!
Kreinik Braid can convert into Au ver a Soie Braid and most of the colour are the same number
Thread Type - Braid – Tagged "Thread Brand - Au Ver a Soie" – Embroidery Marketplace - Calgary
Gentle Arts Sampler Threads can convert into Weeks Dye Works or even Valdani 6ply Floss
Thread Type - Floss – Tagged "Thread Brand - Valdani" – Embroidery Marketplace - Calgary
NPI (Needlepoint Silks) can be switched for Au ver a Soie stranded silk Soie d'Alger .. and there are new photos here too!
