Great Store, A+ Service, Huge Inventory:This is one of the best cross stitch stores I have ever stumbled upon. There is a wide selection of products availble both in the store location and online. Their website is easy to use and search, and orders can also be placed over the phone or by fax, adding that extra level of security. The owner is VERY friendly and accommodating, not to mention HONEST (which is hard to find these days). I selected an item twice in my order and she called me to confirm whether I really wanted two or if it was a mistake. Mary went WAY above and beyond anything I would expect and the shipping was speedy and perfectly priced. A+ all around and Ithey definitely will continue to get my business!

February, 2010
Hi Stitchers,
As we all know, February is the shortest month of the year with only 28 days. But this year here in Pennsylvania it is starting to be one of the longest months. Snow, Snow, and more Snow seems to be the problem. On February 6th, the day before our 26th Anniversary Celebration we had our second snowfall this winter. This time received somewhere in the 24 inch amount, and now on Wednesday, February 10th another storm is heading our way. Of course, we had to postpone our sale so that everyone could dig out their cars, shovel their sidewalks, and prepare for the back to work Monday. So now we have renamed our Sale to Our 26th Anniversary/ Valentine's Day Sale. This is the only Sunday of the year that our store is open for business. For our web customers - we will also be having a special sale for you that day. Info will be posted on Valentine's Day, February 14th and your sale will last for 24 hours.

Winter Wonderland by Blackbird Designs |
This is just a sampling of What's New with more arriving daily. We still have issues with R & R Reproductions and Lakeside Linens. We did get some fabric and continue to ship back orders. We are finally starting to receive 40 Ct. Linen colors. They did not have base fabric and are in the dying process fabric to catch up. Unfortunately, when Blackbird Designs has a new release, the dyeing schedule commits to the 30 Ct. Linen in the colors that coincide to their new release. Then they start back on the dye schedule. We will ship all back orders as the fabric arrives. We still have some Valdini floss colors that have not arrived - again we will ship your back order as soon as the floss arrived in our shop.
Be sure you take a minute to sign up for our monthly newsletter. They are e-mailed usually around the 15th of each month. For Comcast customers - make us a favorite as they sometimes bounce our newsletters and our system will automatically delete you off the mailing list.
