July 2017

Fireworks, barbeques, thunderstorms, pools, gardening, traveling, camping, and fireflies... So many things to enjoy outdoors in July. And when you come inside to cool off—remember to visit the Canal Barn this month. A Stitcher’s Garden is having our annual Retired Shop Model Sale! The models are hung in the hallway outside the shop for stitchers and non-stitchers to purchase. Great gifts, or a little something for an empty spot on the wall, the shelf, or the mantle. Prices are very reasonable so if you fall in love with a frame and not the stitching—no problem—just re-use the frame however you’d like! This is also the time of year to reserve a copy of the 2017 Just Cross Stitch Ornament Issue that will be released in September. I need to have a final number to order by August 1st, so be sure to call (315-449-2181) or stop by to be placed on the list. Happy July 4th & Happy Stitching, Jan
