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.

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. 

 

Ongoing Classes

Beginner’s On Demand 1: With the demands of today’s busy lifestyles, our one-hour beginner’s class fits into anyone’s busy schedule. Tell us when you are available and we schedule the class according to your needs. You will learn both of the basic needlepoint stitches - the Continental and the Basketweave stitches. Cost is $50, which includes materials. Call to schedule the class.

 

Beginner’s On-Demand 2: This one-hour class extends the first Beginner’s On-Demand class to include the Scotch, Diagonal Mosaic, and Cashmere stitches, and is appropriate for anyone who knows the Basketweave or Continental stitch. Cost is $50, which includes materials. Call to schedule the class.

 

Absolutely Fabulous Class: This on-going class meets on Tuesdays at 10:30AM.  In this class, we incorporate a wide variety of decorative stitches into a fabulous Holly-original design. Past projects have included tote bags, luggage straps, table runners, and picture frames, to mention a few. Holly designs the canvas and the stitches, you choose your fibers and each week stitch a different area on the canvas. Cost varies according to the project and your choice of fiber. Call for more information

 

Stitch and Sip: An on-going event every Wednesday evening from 6:30 – 8:30PM and a great way to meet and support other stitchers, while working on any of your unfinished projects. It’s tons of fun, so come and join us for wine and pizza starting this Wednesday evening. Cost is $5, and we request you RSVP the day of!

 

Stitch of the Week: This class meets every Friday and Saturday from 10:30 – 11:30AM. Each week we teach a new decorative stitch, as well as help you with both placement and fiber choices. Buy a new hand-painted canvas or one of our line-drawn SOW canvases, or use a canvas from your stash. Cost is $5 per class.

 

Stitching Social: The Stitching Social starts when the Stitch of the Week class ends, on both Friday and Saturday. It provides an opportunity for you to share and learn from other stitchers while working on one of your unfinished projects. There is no cost involved, and we encourage our customers to become part of this fabulous support group.

 

Studio Time: On Friday 11:30 – 12:30PM you have the opportunity to get help in a group setting with stitch and fiber advice for old and new projects. We will not only help you select the stitch and the fibers, but will give you graphs and help you maintain a project guide for your piece. Cost is $10 per session.

 

Private Lessons/Studio Time On-Demand: If you want to learn more advanced stitches, get help with stitch and/or fiber selection for new or old projects, or just get our undivided attention for help with your needlepoint, just call and schedule a private lesson. Cost is $20 for 30 minutes, $40 for an hour. 

Happy Stitching!
