Happy Saturday to all....did anybody miss the friday update?? I wish I had lots to report this week...but it seems that everything wonderful and new isn't going to be here until next weekend....so I'm sure I'll be overloading everyone with information starting Tuesday!
We did receive our copies of "A Primitive Place" Magazine! If you don't live anywhere close to us, I put a few copies on our ebay listings that can be bought.(You can access our ebay from the right hand side bar) Plus I have copies left for the shop...we've sold about 1/2 of our order already....so they are going fast!!
($9.95 for the issue...wow discount applies)
The "Got to be NC Festival" is this weekend....runs through Sunday. If you have kids and are looking for something fun to do that's mostly free...this is the festival for you! It's like a miniature version of our State Fair! Just wear comfortable shoes and be prepared to look for a parking place!
Have a wonderful weekend and we hope to see you soon....Lisa

New Goodies for the weekend....
This week has been such a mess....dying like crazy trying to get kits finished and out to my customers who are patiently waiting...dealing with a couple of issues on my mom's house so we can close on time...the road out in front of my house is a muddy mess from the turn lane being put in and my mail lady has been off work for 3 days and my outgoing mail is piling up! It's a good thing I'm not much of a drinker!
I'm stopping just long enough to put a few pictures up....these are new patterns in for this weekend...
First is a cute wool quilt wall hanging called "Oh, To Dance with Flowers"...approx. size is 23" x 38"...not a bad size at all! This has great possibilites for lots of small projects if you're not of a mind to do a quilt project! $9.95 for the pattern (WOW price is $8.95)
Next, we have two new cross stitch patterns..."Two Hares Marking Sampler Sewing Box" and "Treasured Blossoms Pinkeeps". Both patterns are $9.95 each...($8.95 for the WOW members). I have a wonderful sample of the "Friend" pinkeep...there is a wonderful little pocket on the back where you can put your scissors and thread! These projects use 32 ct. linen for the bunnies and 28 ct. linen for the pinkeep. I'm pretty sure I have exactly what is needed...if I do, I'll be kitting these projects up with everything you need!
I re-ordered the "Civil War Sewing Circle" book by Kathleen Tracy. We sold out of these really quickly when they first arrived...I've just now been able to get them back in. I only have a couple of copies...if anyone wants one, let me know! Book price is $24.99 (WOW price is $22.50)
WOW girls...don't forget, your April wool is still available at the shop!
I'm bringing in a few great "finds" this week...a 2007(limited edition) Rowe pottery bird feeder for $25.00, a great little OLD blue swirl small sized (but deep) "dish pan" for $15, and a great candle sconce with mirror back for $30. If I can get pictures later tonight, I'll put up a "group shot" so you all can see what they look like!
Coming soon...Andover fabrics has produced a great new line of woven homespuns called "Pumpkin Patch Plaids"...we have ordered 9 of the 12 available and they should be here towards the end of May! Perfect for those fall projects! (Is it too early to start thinking fall???)
But for now...my dye pots are boiling!! Back to work for me!
Lisa
PS....I'm bringing in a big stack of past issues of Wool Street Journal and Rug Hooking Magazine for you girls to look through before I put them up on ebay...some of these are SEVERAL years old and very collectible...$5 each. If anyone is looking for a particular issue...just let me know and I'll see if it is one of the ones I have!

Finally....the storms are gone! (updated Saturday afternoon...)
Hello to all....time for a quick update before I get back to dying wool....

Happy Easter to All! (updated Sat evening)
Can you believe Easter is almost here and it's nearly the month of May?? I think the older I get, the more time flies by and I don't seem to get as much done...either for the shop or for myself...
Thankfully, the weather is going to be lovely this weekend and we will be having our Easter/Spring sale at the shop! Everyone who comes in and makes a purchase will be able to pick an egg from our easter basket to determine what their easter discount will be! We will be offering 10 - 30% discount savings on all purchases (excluding Johnston Benchworks furniture)!!
(Sat. morning)
As I sit here waiting for the movers to arrive with things I packed up from mom's house...thought I better make good use of my time...here are some new things in the shop this weekend....
Two new Marcus Brother fabrics...they are slowly trickling in...these are from Civil War Centennial...$7.95 per yard (before the WOW discount if you are a member)...
Our Black Crow candle order came in...so we're restocked with some of the bestsellers, plus a few new scents as well (Garden Tyme, Hot Apple Pie are a couple of the new ones...)
Also, Shawn brought in an awesome table top paymasters desk. It needed a good paint job, so he painted it Olde Pewter over Lamp Black...turned out great! Late 1800's from PA...all pine with dovetail construction...$235.00
(Saturday evening...)
Busy day at the shop...lots of our good customers and friends came out to enjoy our weekend sale! Thank you so much for all your support!
The Fedex man left me two more bolts of fabric at my door this evening...these are from Marcus Brother's Nottingham Village line...$7.95 per yard (WOW price $7.15 per yard).
And I almost forgot...the April WOW wool is at the shop this weekend..."Easter Purple" is the color...I totally forgot to give it to any of the WOW girls that came in today...where was my head at anyway???
Guess I better get to bed and try and start the day off new tomorrow! Happy Easter to all!

Finally Back!!
Hello to all....finally back from Texas! I hope this is it for a while...I'm starting to hate the thought of flying...on many different levels!
When I got home, there were a few new goodies that had come in! Everything will be in the shop this weekend...which right now looks to be really nice!
First, the new quilting/project magazine..."Primitive Quilts and Projects" came in! Great stuff yall! $9.95 per issue. As soon as I have a real chance to look through it, I'm sure there will be a few projects that we'll kit up! (Picture of the magazine is over on the side bar...)
Also...the new issue of Rug Hooking Magazine finally arrived! It has been traveling around trying to find us for a while now...(they had shipped to the wrong address).
Anyway...it's finally here...$9.95 per copy (WOW price is $7.95!!)
The June issue of Early American Life has arrived! I love antique baskets and there is a really good article in this issue on just that! $4.99 for the issue...
This great new pattern came in...called "Antique Buttermolds"...it makes a 57" square quilt project. I have the pattern now for sale ($11.95)...but when I have a little free time, I'm going to play with this a bit and perhaps kit it up come summer!They did it as wool applique on a fabric background...which I do like...what do yall think?
We've got a spectacular late 1800's child's rocking horse coming in too...he's a wooden dapple painted rocker horse on the red glider base which still has its' original gold stenciling. Original tapestry saddle still in very good shape. A great piece to put on top of an old hutch or in the center of a large farm table! $495.00 (SOLD)
The Valdani floss order arrived last week...we are well stocked! And Not Forgotten Farm's newest punchneedle pattern is here...very cute! (Picture is in the last post I think!)
Off I go to get a few things done today for the shop tomorrow! Come see us if you have the chance!

Where did this week go???
Oh my gosh....here it is Thursday and I haven't even posted one new thing this week for the shop! Well...I've got a bunch of things to show and tell...plus there will be more pictures of new shop stuff if I can remember to take the camera with me tomorrow!
First off...I'm dying wool so there will be some luscious new colors in the shop for the weekend! Plus I love when I can get new textures...and there are five of those coming in right now!
I'll have these cut into some of our wool garden size rolls for $1.50 each, plus there will be yardage on our shelves...
One of the new fabrics from "Old Glory" by Blue Hill fabrics came in...great blender and will go with all those good civil war blues and reds! The background is like a tan dyed muslin color...$7.95 per yard...(WOW price $7.15 per yard) (I think I just found the backing to my flag quilt that is hanging in the shop! WOOHOO!)
CUTE CUTE CUTE new wool applique pattern came in today...fun spring project...called "Nesting"...$8.95 for the pattern (WOW price $8.05).(I'm dying a stack of blues and greens that will be great for this!)
I ordered the cashel linen in flax and natural...both 28 count...for projects that we have in the shop using that linen...
Well, the flax was backordered, but the natural came in! For the life of me, I'd call this "flax"! Anyway....FANTASTIC color for some of the new Country Stitches patterns and any of the Stacy Nash patterns we have! This will definitely be a "keeper" in the shop! $8.00 per 1/8 yard cut...(WOW discount applies!)
OK girls, it's time to start making the list of those who definitely want a copy of the new primitive quilting magazine, "Primitive Quilts and Projects". We officially got charged for our initial order and they are shipping to us on March
31st. I'm not exactly sure if they will be here by Saturday, April 2nd, but I will let you know when they arrive! I have a somewhat limited supply and I know they won't last long...so if you want one for sure...email me and let me know! The issue is $9.95...WOW price will be $8.95! I CAN'T WAIT!!!
And the big news of the day...we pick up our Weeks Dye Works floss rack and ALL THE COLORS THEY MAKE tomorrow! Yep....we will now carry the entire line of Weeks Dye Works floss colors! So if you've had a hard time finding the colors you need in our area...especially after we lost two great cross stitch shops...we will now have them for you! And don't forget...we gladly ship if you can't make it in or don't live in our area!
More coming...back to dying for now! Lisa

Finally back!! (Updated Friday night)
Hello to all! I'm finally back from Texas....at least for a bit! I have to go back the first of April to tie up a few loose ends....my "laundry list" of things to do for the shop is getting longer by the minute! And let me tell yall...if anyone tries to email me and I don't respond real quick, it's because our internet service has been down since late Thursday! Apparently it's a North Carolina "thing" because everytime I call to report it, I get one of those automated messages telling me they know the service is down so don't leave a message! I had to bring the computer to the shop just to be able to get on and do this little update! UGH!
A couple of quick pictures of things that will be in next weekend...
Blackbird Design's new book....A Stitcher's Journey....52 pages with 16 projects... $26.95 for the book (WOW price is $24.25).
We received another shipment of the Spring issue of A Primitive Place Magazine!! (Picture of it is over on the right hand sidebar...) So if you are still needing a copy....come on down!
A new pattern from Country Stitches will be here as well..."Bunny Tails"! Three great Spring projects all in one pattern...as soon as I can get my hands on it, I'll make some kits on the wool bunny project! $17.95 for the pattern...(WOW price $16.15)
(I do have the Cashel 28 ct. linen coming that is needed for the cross stitch patterns!)
If you didn't see the three new patterns from Notforgotten Farm...they are pictured in the blog post right under this one...they are in the shop now and oh-my-gosh-cute!
The next Maiden (Annabell) from the Down the Maiden's Path BOM is ready to go! If you are on the list to get them all, chances are...you have received an email from me letting you know that the kits are ready! If we ship yours to you, they are starting to ship today, Friday, March 18th.
Also, the April Maiden pattern, Daisy, is ready and will be in the shop as well this weekend. So if you are needing a pattern only, you can pick one up! (Daisy in a kit won't be ready until April.)
I'm telling ya...I need a 50 hour day to do all the projects I want to do right now!
(Friday evening)
One last quick post...just got back from the shop...took in two great antique furniture pieces...a great mid 1800's scrub top table...32" square with great blue paint on the tapered legs and a very cool 1840's cupboard top with original blue-grey paint. (Totally forget the camera...so no pictures to show them off.)
Also some really sweet Easter and Spring goodies...some chenille eggs to fill a basket with, wool chick and pussywillow pillows, pastel ornaments to adorn a special feather tree. Plus lots more coming!
Have a great weekend! Weather will be beautiful so get out and do something fun! And don't forget, the first day of Spring is officially Sunday!

Heading To Houston (updated Wed. night)
Just a quick and final note on the blog this week...I've had an ongoing medical emergency since about the end of October with mom who lives down near Houston...things have taken a turn for the worse...so I'm heading there tomorrow and will be out of the shop for a couple of weeks or so....Susan Havens will help run the shop with Shawn while I am gone...between the two of them, they'll have everything under control!
The Maiden kits are all in the mail or at the shop to be picked up....
Settler's Pride girls, you'll get your first border kit shortly after I return.
My rug, sad to say, will be sitting on the frame waiting for my return as well...it's just toooo big to take with me!
Until I return...have a great weekend coming up and come see all the new patterns in the shop this weekend!
Now for the fun stuff.....
It's Never too Early to Talk about Spring!!
So my thinking is....if you talk about something long enough....it'll just be here before you know it! So let's talk more "Spring" this week! If you didn't catch my last blog entry...be sure and look at it...lots of those new patterns will be showing up this week! And Notforgotten Farm has issued 3 new patterns..2 punchneedle and a cross stitch pattern...these will be here for this weekend!(And don't you just LOVE that one with the chickens!!! I've got this "thing" for chickens....I've been wanting just 4 or 5 to have in the yard...live in a cute little coop and give us eggs to eat.Hmmm.... I think this is going to be my year of the chicken!)
All of these patterns will run $9.95 each.... (WOW price...$8.95)
(Monday morning...)
First thing, right off the bat...Sharon sent a picture of FINISHED SAM! (Well, almost finished...she still has to bind him...)He looks soooo great! Congratulations Sharon!!
(Tuesday afternoon...)
All of the NEW Spring punchneedle and cross stitch patterns by Country Stitches will be here for this weekend! I have some names on a "hold me that pattern" list...but if you see something you want and you're not already on the list...email me!
(And if you can't remember what the patterns look like...go down a couple of blog postings...you'll see them there!
I'm still waiting on a Valdani order...keeping for fingers crossed for soooooon!
More coming all week long....so check back! Lisa
