Finishing Packets Listed

Limited packets are being listed in my Etsy Shop .  Do not miss out on these packets.  They are themed in color and/or holiday.  These are great to collect to have on hand for finishing.  Take the stress out of traveling around and trying to find the right fabric and trims.  

Each packet will have a selection of trims and different types of fabrics.  There will be a variation of hand dyed trims/fabrics and ready made trims/fabrics.  Keep an eye out for more to be listed....I am on the prowl for interesting finds.

New Items and Such

OMG-What a crazy year.....I still feel like I just unpacked from the March Needlework Show and it is the end of the year.  

It has been amazing to see the support and energy in the Needlework industry during these strange times.  I am so proud of all the prolific stitchers.  It is fun to see people coming back to the craft-it is so fun to hear from 'new' stitchers how amazed they are at the new fabrics, thread choices and creative designs.  Keep stitching!!!!!  Trust me it is cheaper than a therapist-

I wanted to announce new additions to my Etsy Shop.   The first in many is my Holiday Finishing Pack-this new 'grab bag' concept is for the stitchers and finishers that do not have time to hunt down supplies.  I will be offering packets of fabric, trims and at times-little surprises- that will enhance your finishing.  The descriptions will tell you about what is in the groupings.  Each grouping will be limited so do not hesitate if you see something you like.  See the first grouping below.

Holiday Finishing Pack-Texarkana hand dyed Velvet with Berries and Leaves quilting thread and an assortment of 4 trims.  

Here are a few new items added to my shop-these wonderful designs come from some talented companies in Italy and the United States.  Some of these designers may be new to you-or old favorites.

Hugs and talk real soon.  Ebeth
