Sara Dennis Talks Scissors, Needles and Pins

Yesterday's Sara Dennis interview got me busy exploring her website, which has fun articles on choosing scissors, pins and needles.  The first link is scissors then needles and finally pins.  It's all quite interesting.  Enjoy reading it all!

Breaking News: Stitch-Stash Buys House of Needlepoint

Stitch-Stash in Delaware has purchased The House of Needlepoint in Connecticut!  The House of Needlepoint's owners are ready to retire and Patti of Stitch-Stash is ready to expand.

The current plan is to have one website for both shops but to leave the shops (and their employees) as they are.  The House of Needlepoint will be renamed Stitch-Stash Darien.  We hope everyone enjoys their new roles and that everyone in the Rehoboth Beach or Darian area will visit the shop closest to them.

Buttons from Patty Paints

The metal button forms with canvases from Patty Paints can be displayed many ways:  ornaments on a stick, as magnets, as hanging ornaments with frames.
