March, 2024

 

                   Happy March. Spring is right around the corner. With our Nashville Market over - over 550 new releases were presented as well as new floss colors from The Gentle Art, Weeks Dye Works, Dinky Dyes, Gloriana Silks, and Classic Colorworks. Now the new is arriving in droves. This year I was not able to attend the market due to my husband's medical issue and felt it was not safe to fly. No matter, I made arrangements with many designers just to ship me the new releases rather than bring them back with me on a plane. So have no fear, we already have some of the flosses and patterns in stock as I write this, and other are on the way.

 

 

                    As I state each and every month nothing has changed on the business front. Yes, we are getting Mill Hill kits, and shipping in piece meal as they arrive. We always had a wonderful stock of all the Button & Bead kits, still do, but many are ordering kits that we too are waiting on - please be patient, all will arrive. They are just taking time to replace the buttons with JAB buttons and a few bead colors that are now discontinued. We receive some back orders each week, just not enough or as many as we would like. We will continue to ship as the kits are received. On the fabric front - Picture This Plus is making progress and is only 8 months behind. Lakeside Linens are still backed up with no end in sight. This is why we have started putting our stock of hand-dyed fabrics in red on each fabric color, and blue of you want to place an order and wait until the fabric arrives. Between dye issues and fabric supply issues this is the reason for all the delays. No one can predict when everything will get back to normal, but we can hope and pray by the end of this year all these issues will be like a bad dream and be gone.

Only time will tell. Everyone's patience is greatly appreciated and as they say - "Patience is a virtue".
