March, 2023

           

As many of you are aware, our Nashville Market was the beginning of this month. Unfortunately, due to circumstances relating

to my husbands illness, I was not able to attend. His doctor advised it was best to avoid crowds. Right now, he scheduled to have surgery

on St. Patrick's Day and I finally end his treatments. With that said, the designers were notified and some already shipped in their new wares -

Glendon Place and JBW Designs just to name a few. I did pre-order from many who will start shipping their wares this week, and will be receiving my automatic shipments from many designers as well. So - all Nashville releases will be arriving at our door throughout the month.

 

          On the business front, we will be taking over supplying all of SamSarah Designs. Patty has been battling a very serious illness for some time, and has been unable to handle her day-to-day business. So we have made arrangements to handle all of her publications. I will be updating our website as her stock arrives. This has been a long time coming, but worth the wait. Also on the business front, DMC raised their floss price as well as all Threadworx flosses. Again, hand-dyed fabric companies - Lakeside Linens, Picture This Plus, Weeks Dye Works and

R & R Reproductions are still very slow in shipping in restocks. Again, when we say allow 9 months to a year for many, we are not kidding. With so many new hand-dye fabric companies popping up, Zweigart just cannot supply the amount of fabric needed by the larger companies, which in turn, cause the delays. If you need to start your project sooner rather than later, my suggestion is to pick a Zweigart Vintage colored fabric. They are machine marked, but have been what many designers are now giving as alternates. Please remember, we deal with companies across the US and overseas, and weather conditions can delay receiving our shipments. We cannot control Mother Nature - ask the people in Los Angeles, California who never experienced a snow storm. In my area all we get is rain, no snow so far this year. As many know, we ship as soon as we can, even splitting orders as needed. We had thought by now that the supply chain would get back on track, unfortunately it has not. Your patience is greatly appreciated, and as we say, order well in advance to avoid any disappointments.

Currently our Retail Shop will continue to be opened ONLY on

 

Thursday & Friday from 12:30 to 6 p.m.

and

Saturdays from 11 to 3 p.m.

 

If you see something on our web site, it is always best to jot down the code number, title, and designer -

descriptions do not help us to find the item since we have over 4500 titles in our store at all times - many having the same names.

Please do not put a phone in our face to show us a pattern - a title and code number works best.

Also, with having a web site, items do sell out but can be ordered special for you as long as we have a code number.

 

For anyone who cannot muster our front steps, we do have a side entrance,

just let us know once you arrive, and we will gladly open the door for you.

Chairs are positioned throughout as well for anyone who wants to sit and browse through our racks and baskets of patterns.

We want to make your shopping experience pleasant and enjoyable.

 

Please direct any questions or comments through our e-mail - yeoldecs@comcast.net

or give us a call. We love hearing from our cross stitching friends.

 

Until next month,

Mary & the Staff of Ye Olde Cross Stitchery

If there are any changes to this schedule, we will notify everyone by sending an e-mail to all on our mailing and will post a note on our shop door. If you intend to visit our shop prior to any of these days, please call before venturing just to be sure that we are open - no one wants to make a useless trip.

In Shop - Holiday Framing cutoff is the end of October, and and Sewing cut off is end of September. No exceptions!. This schedule enables our framer and seamstress time to finish your items in time for Christmas. We can take in framing after Halloween, but cannot guarantee holiday delivery. The same goes items that need finishing. We all want to enjoy the holidays - so plan ahead to avoid any disappointments.

  Trunk Show Schedule - We will be scheduling trunks shows this summer - Diana Graebner/Lynn's Prints is expected., Once everything is set in stone, I will be sending a special invitation to each of the show with dates the show will be on display.
