We are in the middle of gearing up to ship the second installment - Chapter 2- Milanese Moment. We shall do so from October 16 -22/08. Thank you everyone for making this such a great success. I hope you enjoy your stitching journal and journey with the patterns and handbook meant for this piece. You may still sign up with your local shop, shop owners you may increase your order at any time just let us know. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask.

The Just Cross Stitch Ornament Issue has a match to the ornament in the Preview issue in the summer. Both were Ball ornaments and I put 'Bell' for the first one, not even thinking that of course it was a Christmas BALL I was trying to depict. My apologies. They are both Ball ornaments!

In the October issue of Just Cross Stitch is a section on Halloween ornaments, pick yours up today, it has 13 ornaments for Halloween in it from different designers, mine included. What a fun little project it was.

I look forward to seeing you at the events this fall.

July 2008

I hope you are enjoying a lovely summer. Relax with some stitching and some time with friends and family.

Shops: If you could sign up your stitchers for My Stitching Album by July 24/08 that would be great. This way we can send you your product in a timely fashion.

I have finished stitching and framing the 'Take Time to Cruise' piece and will pick it up in the next week or two, with much changing of colour I am happy to say I'm pleased. I will be releasing one more 'Take Time' piece in February '09 and possibly if I can finish, another one....

Please look for the Just Cross Stitch August Ornament Preview Issue. It has a second ornament in it that matches the one that will be in the JCS Ornament 2008 Issue. Look also for a seasonal pattern to come in the December issue.

We are busy making our kits for events in the fall and of course all our 'album' thread packs and details for the project. I look forward to starting the 'My Stitching Album' and have come from the printer today yet again with hopefully another proof soon.... I think the road is wearing thin between the printer and I!

My Stitching Treasures Accessories does have a thread pack available now. Please check with your local shop.

Enjoy your summer excursions and I look forward to the spending some time on my deck stitching and reading. Any questions... as ever, email me and we will do our best to help you.
