Shop Newsletter and Shop Closing/Changes

Needle Works in Austin has added their April newsletter to their website. You can see glimpses of new canvases (I'm going to be stitching one of those Leigh pieces), see their elephant monthly club, and read about the classes they plan and the threads they have on sale. Here's the link.

I've heard that Needlepoint Boutique in Plano, Texas is closing.  They are having a sale right now.  Their website hasn't been updated in a while but the address is still there if you happen to be in the area on a visit.

Sometime in the fall Chandail Needlework in Houston will also undergo changes.  The owner is moving to Colorado so she will either sell the shop or try to run it long distance in a smaller format.  Details here.

More Destination Dallas Goodies

Pocket Full of Stitches is posting more and more photos of the wonderful things they picked up at the Dallas trade show. Destination Dallas is a "cash and carry" show, so the shop probably just has one of each.  There's a lot of variety here--something for everyone, in fact!

Halloween Treat Completed

Halloween Treat is a project that ANG's Cyberpointers chapter is working.  Didn't Jan do a superb job?  I love her button choices.
