Absolutely Needlepoint
Get the Point!
August 12-18, 2008
What's New
Just
when I thought no one was paying
attention and I could sneak one
by you... busted! No
friends, your computers were not
acting up last week...I was!
I've been slow getting back into
the swing of things after
vacation and didn't get the
newsletter out. My
apologies. Amazing how
many of you called the store
looking for the newsletter.
A
reminder that October 1st is the
finishing deadline for your
treasures to be back in time for
the holidays. Below are
some adorable ornaments that are
a perfect gift and a quick
stitch.
Coming Soon
There is only one seat left at
our
September 20th, 3 session class...Wake up and
Smell the Coffee.
"Wake up" and call the store so
you don't miss out!
Our
second "Christmas in July"
bargello ornament class will be
held in August. Call the
store for the date and to
sign up.
Just in Wall
Stitch of the Week
Stitch
of the Week for August 15th and 16th is
Milanese with Cross.
Tip Of the Week
Always
try ending your thread under an area
of the same color. If you end
a dark thread under a light one
there is always the possibility of
the dark showing through to the
front.
The Finish Line
 |
We may be
Absolutely Needlepoint but
we do absolutely great
finishing for our cross
stitch and crewel friends
too. |

Who says
needlepoint is a girl thing?
We love how Carol Simon's
soccer pillow came in from
the finisher and is sure to
be a hit in a boy's room.
