November 10, 2019 Hi Fellow Stitchers! Slightly late again this week as I've been fighting a sinus 'face ache' all morning. Temps falling tomorrow and Tuesday 'big time (predicted low of 8 degrees) and apparently my sinuses are getting ready a day or two ahead of it all. That and the 'time change' have been beating me down ... I guess as you get older and older, that stupid hour change (which is NOT needed!!!!!) can really kick your butt! So as soon as I can finish this and hit 'submit', I'm going to celebrate with a hot cuppa peppermint tea and some chocolate! That should make it all better .. especially if fuzzy little black Ari-cat comes and sleeps on my lap while I stitch! so without further delay .. here's what has just arrived at Hoffman Distributing ...

Welcome to WILD ROSE DESIGNS with Tote, Quilted with Vinyl (this zippered quilted tote is of exceptional workmanship with Headliner Foam inserted within the fabric layers for stability and durability. The see-thru front is 20 gauge clear vinyl so you can easily see what project is inside and the zipper has dangling colorful button for added decoration. Measuring 14 1/2 x 14 1/2" overall, it will easily hold an 11x11 Q- Snap) & Tote, Quilted And ... for those of you who remember Windsor Wood and their fabulous floss totes ... we now have 3 sizes of Quilted Floss-Folios (with a button closure, this tote has Headliner Foam inserted between the fabric layers for stability and durability. 12 gauge vinyl pockets hold your bobbins. Small Tote has space for 12 bobbins; Medium Tote has space for 20 bobbins; Large Tote has space for 28 bobbins. A loop to hold your scissors with a quilted applique inside adds useful decoration and the felt backing it's applied to will hold your 'orts' in place until you want to throw them away!) We went absolutely crazy over these (the workmanship is exceptional and the stability is phenomenal!) when she brought them in ... I got a Tote, Michelle got a Tote AND matching Floss-Folio, and Debbie got 3 totes (little over-achiever that she is LOL ... Louann was off that day and said she'll wait till the next delivery hits the shop)!!!!! Right now all we have in stock is what is left on our catalog (https://www.stitchesnthings.com/search.cfm type in Wild Rose Designs in the search box and click on search) BUT she is working on Autumn fabric designs and Christmas designs for the Quilted With Vinyl Bags and the assorted sizes of Quilted Floss-Folios ... so stay tuned! If we don't have the size Floss-Folio to match the Tote bag, let us know and we can 'probably' get it for you. I didn't order all 3 sizes to match each bag when I placed my order with her, but as long as the fabric is still available, Tina can most likely get you what you want. I also am adding these as 'individual purchases' instead of Tote AND Floss-Folio as there are those of us (like me) who are 'floss bag' users and not 'bobbin-ators' ... and I like choices!

FROM WITH THY NEEDLE & THREAD: We had just received her new charts this week ... and despite my ordering many more than we had requests for, we have sold out ... I placed the reorder that same day (her charts have not yet been sent to her distributors) and received this notification: "Due to a family medical emergency I am out of office until further notice. My mother fell and broke her hip, we are waiting surgery or whatever our next step is. I am out of town to be with her. I will resume shipping and business functions as soon as I can. Thank you for your patience, please expect shipping delays." FROM PLUM STREET SAMPLERS: For any of Paulette's charts that we cannot get from the distributors and can only order directly from her: "I'll be headed to Australia on November 5, and won't be back in the office until after the 15th. But I've got one last set of releases in the works - including Winter Saltboxes - which will hopefully be released some time toward the end of November or early December." (I'm excited about "Winter Saltboxes" .. as each chart has two designs in it, I plan on taking one design from each of the four season Saltboxes and stitching it on one piece of fabric as a single design of four (like I did with Jeannette Douglas' Sew Together designs)!!

COPIED from THE HOUSE OF STITCHES Newsletter: If you see a design that you like; buy it! Buy it NOW!! We can never be sure how long something will be in print. And, most designers do not let us know when they discontinue a design. We find out the hard way when we try to order it for you. We are getting calls and emails nearly every day from people who are looking for charts that have gone out of print. I hate it when we are not able to get you the projects that you want! So, this is not a shameless sales ploy; it is an earnest attempt for you to be able to obtain the charts that you need.
Finished MICHELLE INK'S Where's The Party? on my favorite silk gauze with the called for Silk N Colors fibers. It will be mounted on a pale yellow mat (as the mounting board) as that will be similar to the PTP Chime Linen the designer stitched her model on ... and the frame will be WIDE ... nearly 2" wide ... a black with flecks of orange distressing marks on it. I do love stitching on gauze, but since I'm running out of 'wall space' in the shop for our shop models, the 'tiny' seems to work! You can see it stitched up ... just have to look a bit harder. LOL
Have begun a personal stitch for me as opposed to a shop model. Whit has demanded a Christmas Tree Ornament, and since Whit brought it up ... Ari wants one too. So .. dug out Madame Chantilly's Santa's Cat & Dog. Stitching on 36ct PTP Sand linen using the called for DMC floss. Nearly done with Whit's but am going to stitch "Santa's Dog" beneath the design (as the designer did) instead of putting his name .. and will do the same on Ari's (more generic that way and I WILL remember which dog/cat it was stitched for, so no worries there). Ari's will be changed to reflect her black coloring though -- Dave had me 'crop' the ears on the dog design from the designers's "floppy and long" to look more like Whit's.. THEN ... I'll be stitching again for the shop (and it will become mine to have at home too .. at a later date ... Primitive Merry Christmas Pillow from Abby Rose Designs! My Brash linen arrived the other day and I snatched it up to bring home. This has been one of our best selling charts ... and I totally understand why!!!
OK .. I think that's pretty much it. Whit is bugging me to finish his ornament stitching and Ari is also staring at me wondering why her lap is occupied by a laptop computer and not her ... so ... until next week and your next regularly scheduled newsletter update ..... Stitch Happy!! Deb
