Note to self:  buy self-stick cork liner.

Breaking News: Barbara's Needlepoint Has a New Owner

Barbara's Needlepoint in Sioux Falls, South Dakota has a new owner!

Barbara has sold the shop to her daughter-in-law Katie, who's been working at the shop for a while now.  Barbara herself isn't retiring exactly; she's now going to just run the finishing department.  Have fun, ladies!  Hope the new roles are great fun for you two.

If you've not visited the shop website, here's their address.
