March Newsletter from Stitches...

  • Hello and welcome Spring. This truly has been a remarkable winter. Thunderstorms in February. Maybe flowers in March. If you are itching for some spring ideas come in to Stitches and we'll load you with ideas, fabric, kits, whatever it takes to get a jump on spring.
  • Please welcome another new staff at Stitches... Joyce Laffe will be working on lFridays for you help and convenience. She, along with Sheilah McClain and Joy Frank have a wealth of knowledge waiting to be tapped. Just ask for help in finding or planning your next project. Sheilah will be at Stitches... on Tuesdays and Joy will be there on Wednesdays.
  • We again have some great bolts in the Dog Pound for $4 a yard. These are some of our quality fabric that we offer at great prices. Maybe a backing or a border that goes with some blocks you have already put together. Come, give it a look. We will always have the Dog Pound filled for your enjoyment. Also, fat quarters in the Dog Pound for $1.50 and some kits for 25-50% off. Great bargains!!
