Breaking News: The Needlepoint Clubhouse Has New Space UPDATED

Megan of The Needlepoint Clubhouse in St. Louis just announced she has new space--

Don't get excited just yet.  The larger space and the cottage next door (available for retreats) won't be ready for a while yet.  Lots of renovation and decorating have to come first.  I anticipate it'll be the Winter of 2025 before the shop gets settled in their new location.

UPDATE:  We have a move in date!  They will be closed March 14-17 and then reopen at the new location:  9850 Manchester Road, St. Louis, MO - phone 314/432-2555.

It's that time again--NJNA's monthly newsletter is out.  

https://blog.njneedleartists.org/2024/08/24/whats-happening-at-njna-8-24-24/

It's full of ANG news, of course, as this is one of the American Needlepoint Guild's chapters.  Folks are going to the ANG Seminar in September and there will be an ANG online auction in September as well.  There's thread and designer news, new leather colors coming for the Hedgehog Needlepoint luggage tags, new charts and a class from Needle Delights, stitched greeting cards, plus the newest tool from The Wool and the Floss (a magnetic holder for wooden laying tools).

In other words, a good time is to be had from reading this jewel.
