June 2017

Summer officially begins this month and we are already experiencing longer, warmer and sunnier days and the opportunity to sit on a porch, deck, or patio and stitch in natural light-the best! And although its still six months until Christmas, we are having a "Leon Sale" to celebrate. Leon is Noel spelled backwards, and we are offering 20% off all Christmas charts during the month of June. So, no excuses for not getting started on those holiday projects! Don’t forget to tell all your non-stitching friends and family about our annual Retired Shop Model Sale coming in July (also great gift ideas). Wishing you all a Happy Flag Day, Happy Summer & Happy Outdoor Stitching, Jan
