DECEMBER 2021
Greetings from HON
Our very own, Mabel, took this
wonderful Christmas scene and had it remounted into a custom made fireplace screen. Then to add to the whimsy she shopped for holiday dollhouse
accessories to adorn it. The result is a
very special Christmas gift for her grandchildren and family.
CANDY CANE WISH

It's December....

And you know what that means...

 It's time to put a wish on our tree.
Visit the shop, pick out any in-stock canvas you'd like, write
down your name, phone number and your wish on a piece
paper, affix to a candy cane and hang it on our tree. If
you cannot make it in, (perhaps you're not local) you may
call or email your wish to us before the 24th.

STITCH & TIP OF THE MONTH
JAZZ UP YOUR NEXT BELT
Woven Stitch
Many stitchers work belts in Basketweave or Continental Stitch and don't think they can, or should use different stitches. The belt above uses the Woven Stitch in the background. It looks fabulous. This stitch will make your background go more quickly and give it a texture. Notice the baseball is done in Scotch Stitch, the football in Byzantine 2 Stitch and the side of the hockey puck in Encroaching Gobelin.
GIFT IDEAS
SELF FINISHING PROJECTS
There's still time to stitch up a canvas to fit into a
self-finishing jewelry box, trinket tray, luggage tag, wallet,
credit card case or ornament. We're happy to insert your
