Dear Friends of BeStitched

Fall is in the air at BeStitched, and with the change of season there is a change in projects. The summer floral pieces Zecca and Whimsy are on the wall and are being replaced with more seasonal offerings. If there is any doubt just check out the progress being made on the pieces for our fall class offerings!

HALLOWEEN CRACKERS Cracker

A great small project to get into the Halloween spirit is coming up on September 29th. Alice Hall will be teaching the Melissa Shirley Bat Cracker from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM. Join us for a "batty" good time and get 10% off the hat and shoe cracker canvases. Full kits will also be available.

Become a stitch angel and receive a free gift. angels

In addition to weekly embellishment classes, we have more than a few new reasons to drop by BeStitched.

Threads - more specifically silk threads have been added. We now carry the complete line of Belle Soie Silk by Crescent Colours and Planet Earth 6 ply Silk. These are not to be missed.

First and third Thursday evening activities. The third Thursday of each month remains movie night so grab your piece in progress and join us for a movie. Film starts about 5:30 PM. From our summer Thursday schedule we learned you really liked thread tasting, so the first Thursday of each month will be a Thread Tasting event. Bring your piece in progress and join us as we stitch, chat and learn something new about needlepoint. Join us October 4 as we "Glow in the Dark".

Trunk Shows - OH MY! Have we got a schedule coming up. Arriving this week are Jody Designs and Zecca.

If that's not enough... Julia Snyder is coming back to BeStitched on December 1st and 2nd. Sign up now for one or both days. Price is $95.00 each day which includes instruction by Julia and a lovely lunch by Arcadia Farms.

We look forward to stitching with you!
