LOOK WHO CAME HOME FROM THE FRAME SHOP!

PICTURE YOURSELF in CHELMSFORD  takes the best care of my pieces. My husband ran over yesterday afternoon and picked it up for me and it is now at the shop, much to his chagrin. I was so pleased with it that I dragged it into the post office this morning to show off!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMERICA!

QUICKIE NEEDLEPOINT CHRISTMAS ORNAMENTS

Here's something else that you all probably know about me: I am obssessed with Christmas ornaments and I have purchased some more...and some little Halloween mask ornaments:

Sorry about the sideways shot. It will be good neck exercise!
CRICK!!! 

ONE OF THE THINGS I FINISHED ...

while in Minnesota, helping my mother. I showed this to two ladies yesterday who want me to order the canvas and the materials for them. Might anyone else be interested, as we could do a one time class?

KNITTING TREASURES FROM MARKET

I no sooner got home from market with this attractive, multipocketed tote when we had an email from della Q saying they were sold out on these bags and accessories with this print. There is now a three month (or so) wait for more, so either buy it now, or get your order in the queue.

Little gems for you. We have three separate hardware sets and instructions for these darling little NONI felted bags. Don't you need to do a wedding bag or a unique evening bag? Don't forget that we have lots of sizes and colors of beads!

As you saw last season, I have a weakness for all things MAGGIE of Ireland, who does extremely creative knitwear. Since you don't want to see someone else walking down the street in your scarf/shawl choice, opt for a Maggie design, as they are very special.

Yesterday I received a pile of patterns from one of our distributors. Some of them are very basic generic patterns, but I picked out these two as being particularly interesting.

I finally bought myself a Falkenburg kit over which I have lusted for over 15 years. It uses a size 2 needle, so it will be a bit before you see it on me, but I'm sure that you will see it "around"!

THIS IS HOW 91 LOOKS

This is my beautiful mother, Zona Krinke. Thank goodness the church wanted to update their membership directory or I wouldn't have this lovely portrait.

I'M home, MOM's fine, and look what came for JULY 4th!

HAPPY 4TH!

  It's July and these are the hours (following last month's wonkiness):

Tuesday  10 AM - 7 PM

Wed. - Friday  10 AM - 5 PM

Saturday  10 AM - 3 PM

PARDONEZ MOI !

 

Beginning next week (Memorial Day week) until the end of June, THE WORLD IN STITCHES will only be open on Thursday through Saturday. The hours will be 10AM until 5PM each day.

 

I will be buzzing back and forth to Minnesota, sharing cheerleading responsibilities with my sister Connie. We will be there encouraging my mother  as she gets a new hip  and is forced to use it. She is 91, so everyone just stop and give this all a great big SIGH!

 

I will also be dashing off to the TNNA market in Columbus, OH during this time. It's a grand adventure.

 

I will have access to email if you need MOI: twisinc at comcast dot net

Susan will be running the shop when I am not in town.
