| CROSS STITCH EXPRESS - Septem,ber 2007 |
Dear Everyone
Is it cooling down???? Not much yet ... so hope you are still keeping cool. Lots of events coming up so this is
just a quick note to remind you of all the happenings in the next couple of months.
**** EVENTS
BEGINNERS Cross Stitch this month is on Saturday, September 29th at 10:30am - $15.00. Please call (305)
372-3730 to register.
BEGINNERS Hardanger - A series of workshops began on Wednesday, August 29th from 4:00-6:00pm. The
workshops are every 2 weeks. The next workshop is Wednesday, September 28th. A Hardanger band will be
worked with each two weeks developing a new filling stitch. If you miss a workshop it won't matter because it
will be a completely new stitch the following workshop. Each workshop will be $5.00 and you will need to
purchase the fabric and thread you want to use.
*** The Just Cross Stitch CHRISTMAS ORNAMENTS Issue 2007 has arrived. Those of you that reserved a
copy just drop by to pick it up, we have plenty in stock. This year's 75 ornaments are fabulous.
***STITCH & PITCH, Stitch & Pitch, Stitch & Pitch - Marlins v. New York Mets ***
There's still time to come to Stitch & Pitch at the Marlins (we've asked them to win that day!!!) on September
23rd. Support the local stitching industry, make some new friends, have fun - all guaranteed for attendees.
Game begins at 1:05pm, needlework demonstrations will be from 11:35am - arrive early and receive a free
Marlins Tote Bag filled with goodies from the participating needlework shops. Tickets $28.00 (regular price
$40.00) available at the shop or by visiting www.floridamarlins.com/stitch - password STITCH to purchase
directly (there will be a small handling fee this way).
*** 2007 CUSTOMER EXHIBITION - Don't forget to register for our exhibition. This will run from October 9th to
November 3rd. You can exhibit up to 3 pieces plus, introducing this year, a Holiday Ornament. Please call by
the shop for a registration form, and have your items to us by September 30th, 2007. Lets outshine last year
- any piece you have not exhibited in our show before is a candidate for this year.
*** NEW, NEW, NEW - Needle & ThREAD - stitching for literacy. We will be having a bookmark challenge day
on Saturday, October 6th - come on in and stitch a bookmark. We will be donating all completed bookmarks
to a local library to support Children's and Adult Literacy. Stitch a bookmark at home and bring it in to be
donated. I think this is an excellent cause and although I was quite a "bookworm" when I was younger now I
would call myself a "stitchworm".
*** Also in October - BREAST CANCER WEEKEND - October 20-21st, 2007. Peter will be running the "Race
for the Cure" again and we will have a super basket full of goodies as an opportunity drawing with all
proceeds going to the Susan G. Komen Foundation. 10% of all sales that weekend are also donated to the
Foundation.
