Hard to believe but in September the shop celebrated its 9th anniversary! We are planning a few special events this Fall. The first event is a Needlepoint Stash Sale.
This is the time that YOU can sell your own canvases and shop for needlepoint treasures. There is no fee to attend but there is a seller fee for the first 25 items you register. REMEMBER, CASH OR CHECKS ARE THE PREFERRED METHOD OF PAYMENT FOR THE STASH SALE. Anybody wanting to use a charge card for Stash Sale items will have to pay an additional charge fee of 4%.

There is a NON-REFUNDABLE $1 PER ITEM SELLER FEE WITH A MAXIMUM FEE OF $25. The fee will be paid when you drop your items off. You will need to pay
this fee by cash or check.

2. WHAT YOU CAN PUT IN THE STASH SALE:

Your items must be marked with your price wanted and your 3 initials clearly on a tag. Plus the code Use tags that will stay on or with your item. Stapling them to the item is BEST. DO NOT PUT YOUR CANVASES IN PLASTIC. THEY SELL BETTER IF THEY ARE NOT IN PLASTIC BAGS.

The canvas below supports Ukrainian Humanitarian efforts. It is a wonderful way to display your support. The background depicts a traditional embroidery pattern. The sunflower is the national flower. |

New Jersey Bag Rules
NJ residents are aware of the new rules; but we have many out-of-state customers, so here is our philosophy:
We have always tried to support eco-responsible operations in the shop. We use bags made from recycled paper.
Please help us by putting small purchases in your project bag or purse. Bring a bag with you.
If you need a paper bag, we will be charging ten cents per bag. We are hoping the small fee will help raise awareness, remind you to bring a bag and defray ever-rising costs of our bags.

Needlepoint Finishing Guidelines
As finishers place more restrictions on accepting finishing, we are forced to add more guidelines for finishing.
We are making every effort to provide wonderful finishing in a timely manner at a reasonable price. Our finishing process is not what it was in 2019, but what is in this world? Please be patient, clear on what you want and be kind to our staff.
Blocking
If you stitch in continental your canvas must be blocked. Some canvases we received for finishing are so out of shape, they require blocking twice.
Basketweave if done in hand may need blocking. If you do not bring your work in blocked, depending on the need, we will either take it to Mayflower Cleaners in Princeton, and charge you the cost plus a charge for our staff to take it and pick it up, OR we send it out to a finisher who blocks. The finisher who will block is not guaranteeing any return date. Either way it will cost more in time and money.
Fabrics and Trims
Please bring in fabric and accessories you want used for your work. Ornaments require an uncut skein of thread for twisted cord. A two-color cord requires a skein of each color. We have a limited choice of fabric for the back of ornaments, feel free to supply your own or choose from what we have.
Stockings and cuffs need fabric for back and cording. (Cuffs, obviously need more.) If you are choosing a velvet, do not choose upholstery fabric with heavy backing. All stockings need coordinating light-weight fabric for lining.
Pillows require a 1/2 yard extra fabric for cording.
This is in addition to your pillow back, frame or gusset.
What can you do to help?
Please bring in your projects as soon as possible.
Provide fabric, ribbons, and accessories.
Have your piece blocked.
Be clear on your requests.
Be patient!
Please be prepared. Stitch gifts early! If you know you do an ornament for someone year after year, it is time to get started.
If you need help finding an ornament, please send us a theme and we will email you options. Write "Attn Bettie ornament" in subject line. in email write theme: baseball, snowman, candy can, etc.
We appreciate your patience. Please do not ask the store staff to call on any project that was sent out less than 8 weeks ago. Many vendors are taking phone calls twice a week at limited times. They will need to check with their staff
and get back to us.
Going Forward
We are still awaiting some finishing from last July! We are hoping to provide an 8 week turn around for standard pillows, stockings and ornaments; but cannot guarantee dates.
Our goal is to provide the best service to our customers.
Stay Well, Stay Safe, Be Prepared.
