Thanks to Whitney, I just learned that Pat Dugan is closing her shop Stitcher's Workshop in Arkansas to move to Indiana to concentrate on teaching and designing while living closer to her family. Yesterday the shop started their Closing Sale, with all in stock merchandise on sale at twenty percent off. The official closing date is August 15th.

Losing Stitcher's Workshop is a blow. I will especially miss the lovely boxes, stretcher bars and floor frames Pat's husband makes. I don't know if he will continue to make these things once retirement hits. After all, when you are retired all the free time you hoped for is very illusive!
Thanks for letting us know, Whitney. Anyone who gets to visit the shop one last time, plus hug Pat for me!

We of the Needle
We of the Needle is adding new products to their mix. This framing/antiques/embroidery/tools shop has a little of everything. making it a fun place to explore.

Their blog points you to new needle keeps (the black kitty needle magnet and the computer chip magnet are my favorites) and new scissor fobs (I like that they are shorter as long fobs bother me as I work) and the new pin cushions are all one of a kind. I've never seen an Aladdin pin cushion before!

Most embroiderers have heard of the Bayeux Tapestry, the wool on linen emboidered story of the Battle of Hastings that earned William the Conquerer England as a prize. Inspired by the Bayeux Tapestry, an Irish group from the eastern coast has created a modern version of their own history in crewel.
