Breaking News: Stitch By Stitch Larchmont Temporarily Closed

Last Saturday around 2:30 a.m. the Stitch by Stitch store in Larchmont, NY was hit by a car.  

https://www.facebook.com/stitchbystitchlarchmont/posts/pfbid038P4YuASSQNrrZQjdySuyWjWQh84ovMQmWFKv6i2Lh3414Qz4WriyCa35tJzmz9S1l

Most of the damage was to Estelle Gourmet in the same area but the needlepoint shop had some damage to the front window, door, planter and bench.  They can't reopen until an engineer certifies the building is safe.  That will likely happen by Thursday, Feb. 6.  Call the shop before you go over, however, just in case.  The shop website is open for business, though.

We are all glad it was in the middle of the night and no one was hurt!

Diamonds, Triangles and More (Debbie Rowley)

Melita took a class from Debbie Rowley of DebBee's Designs called "Diamonds, Triangles and More."  She has posted the finished project here.  I find it quite interesting.

I think this would look very different with a color canvas in the background or with heavier weight threads.  Debbie Rowley always surprises!
