There's a sidewalk sale this weekend in the tiny hamlet of Hingham, Massachusetts. Every shop in town (all perhaps three blocks of them) is having a sale. That includes Hingham Square Needlepoint, which promises 75% off some items. If you are in the Boston area and are up for a ride down 3A, or if you are just exploring the coast of Massachusetts, you won't go wrong if you visit Hingham and hit the sale, then travel to nearby Cohasset for the shops and Hull for the beautiful tiny beaches and the food.

After all, who can resist a shop whose website says, "Today’s needlepoint is not just about what we see on the canvas but what we can create that goes well beyond the boundaries of what’s painted."
Wish they'd be there when I lived in Hingham!

Document Spontaneous Acts, Win
Labels:
contest,
Peacock Alley
Peacock Alley Needlepoint in Michigan just announced spontaneous acts of needlepointing are breaking out all over their area--in doctor offices, during traffic jams, at the lake and swimming pool, in the stands of baseball games, anywhere! Take a photo of such guerilla stitching and email it to the shop by August 15, and if your snapshot is the cleverest of them all, you'll win a $25 gift certificate.
Which you will promptly spend at the shop since during the month of August they are having a Sidewalk Sale with lots of bargains in all sorts of categories, from canvases to leather goods to books and CDs and threads.

Fooling with Stitches and Colors

Ruth Schmuff
Ruth Schmuff has started her next mystery class. This time she is working magic with what at first glance appears to be a traditional canvas by Marie Barber of Colors of Praise. Ruth is fooling the eye with stitches while her students are fooling around with color. A good time is being had by all, including us onlookers!
