December 2019

As we approach the end of the year and another decade (how did that happen?), we are busy preparing to celebrate holidays with family and friends and continue traditions handed down to us. As A Stitcher’s Garden’s gift, we are donating a percentage of our sales from Small Business Saturday to the Food Bank of CNY. Thank you to all who attended. Looking toward next year, I will be attending Market in Nashville in March. There will soon be lots of internet buzz about new designs being released. If there are things you would like specifically please call the shop during business hours so I can note requests and look for them at market. I am working on finding a place to hold a Stitching Weekend sometime during the first half of 2020. Details will be in the newsletter when it is scheduled. Wishing you all a Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, and a peaceful, healthy New Year. Happy Stitching, Jan
