Driving Aimlessly Around Montgomery, AL?

If you are driving aimlessly around Montgomery, turn around and head straight to the Needle Bug to meet Derek Clark and see his mother Amanda Lawford's one day only trunk show.  It's just today, so  make sure you get there to meet Derek, admire his and his mother's work, and indulge in today's twenty percent discount on the goodies he brought with him.  Note the free shipping if you are a mail order customer, aimlessly cruising the web....

Newsletter Fun UPDATED

I held off posting this for a few days, thinking that several shops might do August newsletters and I could list them all at once for an orgy of newsletter fun.  And it happened!  Right on time, Amy Bunger's newsletter is out. History buffs will be interested in seeing the Henry VIII laying tool and reading the symbolism therein, but everyone will enjoy the preview of new items and the gallery of finished pieces.

Needleworks' August newsletter highlights some of their Maggie trunk show canvases, then showcases their classes and clubs, topped off by a dissection of Staggered Cross Stitch and all its possibilities.

The newsletter for Bedecked and Beadazzled starts off with the Robin King class they will host in early September, then dances with new canvases and kits (I hear there is a Chaos stitch guide under way) and does a preview of their Sew Much Fun trunk show, not to mention their current and upcoming Mystery classes and an exploration of cross stitches.

The Proud Designer

Designers rarely get to see their hard work all stitched up, so when they do, they are thrilled! Ada Hayden of EyeCandy just received photographs of several pieces and she is as proud as a new parent.

Seeing how well things turned out, I can't blame her for being proud!
