Looking for a Fun Project?

If you have lots of leftover threads and bits of canvas you can't bear to throw away, how about using them in a Christmas ornament project from Susan Portra?

It would be a great learning project for a new stitcher and a great project for a local guild to have fun with, too, particularly if you want to decorate a library or stitch for a fund raiser.  All you need are copies of the magazine and a pile of extra supplies to use up.

Many thanks to Brenda for showing us how much fun we can have with leftovers!

UPDATE:  Brenda is continuing to do the light bulbs and they are lovely!

Breaking News: 2 the Point is Closing

I just spotted this posting by Terry Christoper Costello on Facebook: 


As many of you know I have been trying to sell my store. The last 17 years have been very rewarding but I am closing my store on August 29th. During the last several years I have found myself concentrating on teaching, stitch guides and retreats. It is with this in mind that I will be opening a teaching studio in Jan 2016. 
All of my shop models will be sold in a Silent Auction starting July 22 with final bids awarded on August 15th.
Additionally, all canvases, threads, etc are 30% off from July 22nd-Aug 1.
Our last sale will be 40% off from Aug 4th -15th. Any remaining product will have to go by Aug 29th.
Thank you all for your support and friendships. I look forward to seeing you in my new endeavor.

I can't wait to see what Terry plans next!
