Dear Friends,

Almost Spring!  Well, it's been a great winter in Stowe with lots and lots of snow.  It was beautiful -- mostly!  But now it's time to Spring ahead and look forward to being warm again.  Until we can get outside and work in our gardens or go for hikes, we can still keep stitching!  The needlework industry had it's needlepoint market in February and cross stitch market last week so there are beautiful new projects to be had.  The following websites are just some of what's new -- not all in the shop but much has been ordered.  I'm happy to place special orders of course, but as always, please be patient as I need to maintain minimums.  Also, you know that I'll kit with threads and fabric.

Before I get to the highlights, a few words of business particulars:

Christmas finishing for needlepoint must be in the shop by AUGUST 1. (it gets here before you can say Kris Kringle!)  Belt finishing is temporarily on hold as "Mike" is relocating his leather business to another part of the country.  He promises to be up and running no later than June.

Winter shop hours will continue until May 1 -- Wednesday thru Saturday 10 -- 4.  Please call before you travel any distance.  If you call and I don't answer, please leave a message and wait for a call back.  I am frequently with my Dad and sometimes I must close for the day without much notice.

So on to the fun stuff!  The Wooden Needle is offering a 20% discount off any cross stitch chart or needlepoint canvas special ordered from these websites by April 1.  Please call or email me with specifics.
