Hi All-

 Just wanted to let everyone know that the Patty Paints Trunk Show has arrived!  She has some adorable canvases and all trunk show canvases through 6/20/10 will be 15% off.  If you want a preview, go to www.pattypaints.net.

On another note, Waste Knot has now gotten a Facebook Page!  Please become a "fan" or "like" us for more frequent updates as to what is going on at the shop.  You can click on the facebook link on our website or point your browser to http://www.facebook.com/wasteknotneedlepoint to join in.

I can't believe that summer has already arrived and it is time for yet another market!  I'll be leaving for the Columbus TNNA market on June 10th and plan on coming upon some great finds and spending some $!  Please let us know if there is anything you would like me to order for market.  You can call us or send us an email.

Hope everyone enjoys their summer and look forward to seeing you all soon!

It's hard to believe but the shop will be 2 years old next week!  Time has flown by!

In honor of our birthday, I can't think of a better way to celebrate other than to have a sale.  Starting Thursday, May 6th and continuing through Saturday, May 8th, all in- stock canvases and threads will be discounted 20%, and we do have a lot of canvases.  We will be open 10am to 6pm, Thursday and Friday, and 10am to 5pm on Saturday.

If you have your eye on a canvas and cannot make it to the shop, feel free to call with a credit card.  All canvases and threads will be sold on a first come, first serve basis.  Due to the probability that we will be very busy these 3 days, we will  only be able to help with pulling threads for canvases that have been purchased at our shop.

In addition to the sale, we also hope to have our trunk show, Associated Talents, arriving sometime next week.

Hope to see you all soon and look forward to many more birthdays!

The Kelly Clark Pear Club has Arrived!

We are so pleased to be offering the Kelly Clark Pear Club!  These are absolutely georgeous canvases!  This club will begin in June and there will be one canvas a month for 12 months.  There are a large variety of threads and stitches and it makes for a wonderful array of colors and finishes.  We have one stitched at the shop if you want to come and take a look or go to www.kellyclarkneedlepoint.com for a preview.

Canvases and stitch guides will be $56.25 per month.  You may also purchase the fibers which will run an average of $45 per month.  

Unfortunately we have a limited time for sign up, so please call us or drop by the shop soon to sign up or call if you have questions!

Our Shorebird Studio Designs trunk show is at the shop!  What wonderful canvases!  She has some great birds, animals, carp, florals and more.  Please drop by the shop to take a look.   They are absolutely gorgeous!  If you want a preview, you can also see her work at www.shorebirdstudio.com.   All trunk show canvases are 15% off.

I am heading to the 2010 Woodlawn Needlework show tomorrow to demonstrate.  I've heard nothing but good things about the show so far.  I also hear our shop and customers have gotten a few ribbons!  I'll try to report back on my findings.

 We should have new classes posted shortly for May and this summer.   Our Paisley class sold out before I could post it but we hope to offer it again this fall.  We do still have a few spots open for our beginner's class in April.  Please contact the shop if you would like us to hold a spot for you. 

Hope to see you soon!  Happy Stitching!
