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.
This fee goes into affect Monday, May 16th

Apolis Market Bags have Arrived
Apolis: Investing in People
We are pleased to partner with Apolis. Every market bag is handcrafted in Bangladesh by hundreds of mothers who receive Fair Trade-certified wages, annual profit dividends, and a retirement fund. The bags are then shipped to Los Angeles, California, where a growing team of 13 people print one-of-a-kind customizations onto the bag.
The bags are well-made, with pride and dedication. They feature a wipe-clean lining, leather handles, can hold up to 100 pounds and are reported to last 8 years with regular use. They are $78.
Our shop sells the bags at the cost to us;
therefore no discounts can be offered.

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.

Building in Color
Do you want to expand your skills
from just knit and purl?
This incredibly striking sampler afghan is the perfect way to learn different stitches and techniques that make up the mystical world of colorwork!
Over the course of the class, you will gain confidence managing several colors at a time while knitting ten different panels: intarsia, short rows, slipped stitches, knit below, elongated stitches, mosaic, tuck stitch,
and the butterfly stitch.
After the panels are knit, you will learn how to finish the afghan by blocking and seaming the panels. The final step is knitting the border.
Building in Color is a skill building class that has students knitting a different strip every month that can be seamed together to create a lovely sampler afghan.
The finished size of the afghan is approximately 52” wide by 42” tall. It is possible to modify the height by knitting shorter panels and modify the width by knitting fewer panels. For example, to make a baby blanket you could knit five panels.
Advanced Beginner Skill Level: must be able to cast on, bind off, knit, purl, work basic stitch patterns with combinations of knits and purls, simple increases/decreases, and follow written instructions.
Class meets monthly on the second Sunday of the month from 10:00 am – 12:00 pm (Eastern) with ongoing enrollment. Students starting the class may be in the company of other knitters further along.
Note: The $35 class fee is per session. However, not all sessions are required. Attendance is optional based on your needs or technique assistance.
