Christmas in July UPDATE

Tanja Berlin's Fruit Still Life Goldwork

It's the first of July and you know what that means--shops start their July sales!  I Googled "needlepoint sales" and came up with several great deals.  If you know of others, post full information in the Comments section please!

Do you love K's frames?  Discount Needlework has several styles on sale and they are throwing in free shipping, a great boon when it comes to a heavier item.

Pasttimes Needlepoint in Texas is putting all their in stock canvases on sale at 20% off for July and August only.  This is a great time to pick up something you've lusted after on their site.

Elaine Magnin has the best sale of all--their in stock items are on sale at 60-70% off!  Search using the search box, but remember, if there is no photo of the search results, the item isn't in stock so it isn't on sale.

The first of the month is when e-newsletters appear as well.  Amy Bunger's is up, full of great photos and tales from the Columbus TNNA show.  Fans of her stitch guides will be very interested in her new guide that tells you how to stitch three tiny canvases.  This is a very inexpensive way to study with Amy and a great new departure for her.

Tanja Berlin has sent out her monthly email note.  In it she announced three new kits--a blackwork horse, a new threadpainted rabbit, and a fabulous goldwork fruit still life kit (pictured above).  You can read all about them here, plus see previous new items.

She also has two items on sale at excellent prices.  I'm lusting after the stiletto myself.

UPDATE:  Pocket Full of Stitches has every in-stock AND special order canvas on sale at 20% off during July.

Wow, thanks for the mention of my website, Discountneedlework.com! I am indeed having a fabulous sale for the entire month of July on K's Creations frames. It's not just the frames, but accessories, too, for those who are already using K's frames!

Discountneedlework.com always has a great discount on K's frames, but the real money-saver this month is definitely the free shipping as you mentioned, particularly with the big frames like the Rug Frame and Ultimate Stitching Station!

Thanks again for the mention, I really appreciate it. =)

We always like to let our friends know about good sales, especially since I love my K's metal floor stand. They make great products. Nice to meet you, Leigh!
