Stocking Cuffs Cuffs are a great way to make a stocking for a loved one without doing as much work. You stitch the top part with the name and a design and our finisher attaches it to a beautiful velvet stocking. A smart idea for those who have many children and or grandchildren to stitch for.

STITCH & TIP OF THE MONTH

Use T-Stitch with a Variegated Thread

This Kathy Schenkel custom dog bone was stitched to commemorate a pooch no longer here. The background was stitched in T-Stitch in a Threadworx blue variegated fiber. It creates a fun sky and works up quickly. Contact us if you'd like us to customize one for your dog.

ORNAMENT FINISHING INCENTIVE

GET YOUR HOLIDAY ORNAMENTS FOR 2021 IN EARLY!!!

We have found out many of our finishers will not be honoring deadlines this year. One of them is our primary ornament finisher. To incentivise you to get your ornaments done early, we are offering these discounts on ornament finishing*: *Please note due to numerous inquiries if ornaments could be turned in before the previously advertised March start and still receive the discount, we decided to move the incentive up a month.

FEBRUARY drop-offs: 15% OFF MARCH drop-offs: 10% OFF APRIL drop-offs: 5% OFF

~ Also note, as of right now Belt and Key Fob finishing will still have a mid November finishing deadline. If this changes we will let you know as soon as possible.

DIY SWEATER CONTEST

Call or email us if you have questions.

VINTAGE LUGGAGE TAGS

IN STOCK at HON

Check out other airports they have including JFK, LGA, London, Rome.... from HEDGEHOG Needlepoint Posted on Instagram by Hedgehog Needlepoint. These tags were beautifully stitched by Victoria Whitson.

Below, a HON customer created her own initial tag to go on the back of the Charleston tag. She had a local leather sales and repair shop create this two-sided tag with leather trim and strap. A perfect way to differentiate and jazz up a carry-on! These canvases can also be made into wonderful ornaments like those above.
