Two new things really deserve a posting of their own since I think they are really important. It can be overwhelming to read about more and more and more new things, many of which you might not really care about since you can't use them or they aren't your style. But if you don't look at any new items at all except these, you'll have hit the major high spots.
First of all, Melissa Shirley has pulled out all the stops and added dozens of new items. Some are extensions of new lines (the Valentine's Day antique postcards join Halloween and Christmas versions) and some are completely new (The Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe and her kids made over in Halloween fashion) but they are all fascinating to view.

Secondly, Needle in a Haystack has made their online thread cataolgue searchable. This is big news to those of us who don't have good shops nearby as this is the best place to see what new colors have been added to our favorite thread brands and to view new brands we've never seen. You can read about it here and click on the links to view the new colors available. It's a very useful tool for me and I hope you will find it useful also.

MANY MANY thanks for the link to the Needle in a Haystack searchable thread index. Not having local access to threads makes it really hard to keep up with the newest items. I am thrilled to see that several of my favorites have new colors. Thanks Jane!

My pleasure, Kelly. I will use it a lot myself. Getting to a shop only happens 2-3 times a year for me.
