Wake Up! Wake Up! Time to Go Shopping!!!

Labors of Love is doing another New Designers Celebration Truck Show starting today, August 29 at 1:30 p.m. Eastern Time through September 30.  The show features designs and accessories from twenty-two new designers.  If you aren't in the Atlanta area, you can still shop online.  

https://www.laborsofloveneedlepoint.shop

The shop will kit any canvas for you, and if the item you want is sold out (or you need more than one of something), they will do a special order at the trunk show discount.  

So get yourself dressed and ready to SHOP.

New Website for Pocket Full of Stitches

Pocket Full of Stitches in Texas has revamped their website!

https://pfos.com

Not everything is loaded yet, but this is a fabulous browse, particularly if you are a fan of monthly clubs, which PFOS pioneered.  Hopefully all the available clubs will be loaded on the Monthly Clubs page by the time this publishes, but be patient.  Websites are a LOT of work!

A Public Service Announcement from Tricia Nguyen

Many of you probably know Tricia Nguyen of Thistle Threads through her stump work courses or the amazing reproduction threads she has sponsored.  She's also well known for her work with the FIRST robotic teams for kids so she's fielding a lot of questions about the female robotics team from Afghanistan which has escaped the chaos there just in time.  Her is her response and a plea for us to help the refugees who will arrive shellshocked in a country they know nothing about.

Jon, I hope you remember enough Pashtu to be able to at least translate.

ALERT: Kreinik On Larger Spools Temporarily

Kreinik just announced on Facebook that due to supply issues. all their braid sizes will ship on the large spools.

You'll have to check the label to make sure it's size 8 braid on the larger than usual spool, but the yardage remains the same.

Colors Make a Difference

The New Jersey Needle Artists chapter of ANG has posted a monthly update of the charted designs everyone is working on.  As always, the various colors chosen really make a difference in how the design looks.  Color is magic!

The ANG projects are only available to ANG dues-paying members, but Razzle Dazzle is by Ann Strit-Kurz and is available from her website.
