JULY 2021 Newsletter

Greetings from HON

DRESS UP YOUR BED WITH NEEDLEPOINT Our customer stitched these adorable Herend inspired bunnies from Kate Dickerson and thought they would make sweet pillows to adorn her bedroom. After lots of brainstorming and her desire to incorporate lace panels crocheted by her grandmother, we decided to applique the canvases onto pillows small enough to accommodate the amount of lace she had to trim them. Since there was not sufficient lace to completely edge the pillows, fabric covered buttons were sewn in the corners to complete the look.

Jazz up a stocking cuff by using something other than basketweave. Try Double Parisian as seen here. Similar to a Double Brick it can be used alternatively to brick for buildings, floors, pathways...

TIP OF THE MONTH

DESTINATION PILLOW

Create A Keepsake From Various Ornaments This is a great use for destination rounds aside from ornaments. Pick a theme like "Christmas In Colorado" or "Christmas In New York" to commemorate a trip or tradition. Or, create a personalized pillow or picture with a collection of rounds that are meaningful to you like the sample shown at top. We have many destination and other rounds to create your own.

UPCOMING CLASS

SAMPLER CLASS

We suspended classes during COVID but are ready to start again. We have some stitchers who have asked to learn new stitches and our sampler class is the perfect opportunity for an advanced beginner or experienced stitcher who wants to learn new stitches. Students work with the teacher to choose colors and stitches. A monogram can be painted in the center (or any) square to personalize your canvas. We plan to begin classes in late summer or early fall. Please call the shop 203-655-9112 or respond to this email to inquire and or sign-up.
