April, 2021

April has finally arrived and the shop will be closing for good soon. It is with very mixed feelings that I write this last newsletter for A Stitcher’s Garden. It has been a pleasure to get to know so many of you personally over the years. I will truly miss the regular contact, but I know that this is the right decision for me and at the right time. Some of you may know that I have been away from the shop for the past few weeks due to an unexpected death in the family. So, between those added responsibilities, and my health issues over the last few years, I don’t have the stamina or concentration needed to properly maintain the business. At some point, I may do some online sales, but that won’t be anytime soon.

In addition to the weekly sales that I have posted on Facebook, during the last two weeks that the shop is open, there will be more discounts taken.

For the remainder of this week (through April 3rd) the previously discounted items are 75% off and charts, fabric and DMC, Classic Colorworks, Gentle Art, Needlepoint Silk, and Weeks Dye Works are at 30% regular prices.

The week of April 5th through April 10th those items will be 40% off.

For the last week that the shop is open—April 12th through April 17th, they will be 50% off.

I encourage you to take advantage of these price reductions as soon as you can, while there is more availability, as inventory is dwindling.

On the Sunday after the shop closes—April 18th—we are holding a YARD SALE at the Canal Barn from 9 am til 3 pm. There will be fixtures, furniture, baskets, antiques, framing supplies, stencils, and much miscellaneous merchandise. We will accept cash and credit cards as payment, but no checks that day. Please pass the word to any friends or family that might be interested. And due to the unpredictability of CNY spring weather, it may very well be an "in the barn sale."

Thank you all once again for your business, support, and friendship for the past 20+ years.
HAPPY STITCHING! Fondly, Jan
