Today's Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving and the day when many stores have fabulous sales to lure Christmas shoppers. There are a few sales going on specific to this day in the world of needlepoint and a few other good sales I've stumbled across that will be there tomorrow and into the future. You should definitely check your local shop's calendar to see when they will close for the Christmas/New Year holiday and if they are having a sale this time of year.
Needle Bug in Montgomery, Alabama has a 25% off sale until noon today. Note they are collecting toys to distribute and contribute if you can. If you aren't in the area, browse the daily shop news postings to read about the needlepoint the shop owner saw at the National Cathedral.

First up, this shop has a great many books for sale at half price, including all the Stitches for Effect series and Ruth Dilts' Needlepoint 101 and Needlepoint 202. (By the way, they also have a consignment area where you can pick up good bargains.)

Lani's Needlepoint is having a sale on all their canvases of little porcelain bowls. I think most of them are on this page.

Needlepoint Heaven has a few canvases on sale if you buy your threads there, too. Note the faux alligator handbags with canvas inserts at a really good price.

I haven't done business with all of the above (but have no commercial relationship with any of these shops), so buyer beware. By the way, the canvas shown above is from Ruth Schmuff.
