Julie Pischke Day in Raleigh UPDATED

If you are a fan of Julie Pischke and especially of her new Pischke Pocket kits, make a beeline for North Carolina on October 5 and 6 to participate in Needlepoint.com's next Pischke Pocket Day, which will have Julie herself present.  There are some details on the website but you should call or email the shop for further information.

You can see all the options at the Colors of Praise website. Have fun choosing just what to say!  (Note to your mothers--No, I did not tell your child this was the best place to order swear words in needlepoint.)
