Needlenook of La Jolla is celebrating the shop's 40th anniversary with a 40% off sale. The discount is for painted canvases only. Trunk show canvases are 25% off (not forty) and threads are 10% off. I don't believe there is a discount on books or tools or anything else. I am not sure when the sale ends, so act fast.

A Stitch in Time in San Marino, CA has photos up on their site of their latest monthly club. They specialist in ornaments that are mounted on a stick and displayed in a painted pail. This year's club celebrates the 4th of July, so all patriots will enjoy visiting their site and seeing the finished ornaments. It looks like you can sign up for past year's Valentine's Day, Easter and Halloween ornament clubs as well. The link below also shows off their Kelly Clark Christmas ornament club for those who are looking for more traditional holiday ornaments to stitch.

Speaking of thread, Gay Ann Rogers has posted another of her technique articles on her website. It's about an issue I'm dealing with on Cha--how to choose the right weight of thread. I highly recommend you read this. The first link is the introduction on her blog. The second is the techniques page on her website. The thread weight article is number ten.

I did stitch a little on Cha last night but not much. It was just too hot!
