Breaking News: Terry Collingham Has Died

There was a notice on Facebook today that Terry Collingham of Colonial Needle has lost her battle with breast cancer.  If you are a regular stitcher, you won't know Terry but she was the president of Colonial Needle which is the owner of Kelly Clark, Lee's Needle Arts, Silver Needle, De Elda and SOS Designs, and the distributor of Prescencia cotton perle and floss, a huge range of needles and much more.

We are really sorry to hear this and send our sympathy to her family.

Shop Realities During a Pandemic

Ruth Schmuff has posted a heads up about the realities of buying canvases and taking classes during a pandemic.

This is the second time this week I've seen shop owners say there is now a six month wait for canvases you have to order, so do plan ahead now for what you want to stitch this winter.

By the way, designers are having a time, too.
