Since I don't have any stitching updates of my own to share, I took my camera with to Stitchville and took a couple of photos for you. Here are a couple of photos of their Halloween and Fall displays:
Nothing compares to seeing a piece all stitched up and finished. Stitchville has something like 1000 models on display!
One of my stitching friends, Joyce, brought in her Just Nan Limited Edition Pumpkin. I don't know the official name for this piece, but I know that it was available last year.
Joyce said it took her three weeks to completely stitch and finish this beauty. Didn't she do a nice job? Her finishing was impeccable.
The other cool thing at Stitchville was a new line of perle cotton they just got in. They now carry Presencia Finca Perle Cotton...many colors in all sizes -- if I remember correctly, it was there in sizes 3, 5, 8, 12, and 16 -- wow! Check out these vibrant colors:
Delectable...
Delicious...
Gorgeous!
I have used this perle cotton before when doing Hardanger; I really liked it. It has a little more sheen to it than DMC does.
There's no better way to start the weekend! Have a good one and thanks for stopping by!

You're absolutely correct! Viewing online or a magazine just isn't the same as seeing the models in a shop.
Thanks for sharing all those great photos!

Ahhhh...Stitchville....I would love to get there one day!!! Those threads look heavenly also... I know all those models keep your project basket filled...Nothing like seeing the models stitched up to make you want to buy and kit up!!! Thanks for sharing these nice photos.....Faye
Great photo's, your friends Just Nan finish is gorgeous
Oh my gosh, I can't imagine seeing all these beautiful things IRL!
Wow, those are some juicy colors! Wish I lived closer. I'd so be in trouble there. Thankfully I've had the Stitchville experience a couple years ago. It's a truly amazing shop indeed!
