It has been all go since we took over from Liz and Ann back on the first
of February. Thanks to Brenda the hand over went really smoothly
and together we have learned heaps about how the shop runs. Thanks
to her running things so well I at last get a
chance
to sit in front of the keyboard to write the newsletter. Hopefully
you will find my first effort worth reading. Please send me some
feedback on what you like and what I should change. So where
shall I to start. Well first I thought I would tell you about
the Kreinik Metallic Thread Embroidery Book. It's a practical
guide to creative stitching with metallic threads by Jacqueline Friedman
Kreinik. Jacqueline is one of the principals of the Kreinik Manufacturing
Co that has produced metallic, silk and decorative threads for over 25
years. Written for the beginner and experienced stitcher this
book is a valuable resource for anyone who wants to add metallic threads
to their embroidery.
The
book usually sells for $80 but we have decided to offer it to you for just
$59.95.

Another book worth having
a look at is the A to Z of Bullions. This is a step
by step guide to creating over 120 beautiful bullion roses and figures.

I recently visited a gift fair in Auckland. Amongst the many wonderful
things I came across the most beautifully handcrafted Rimu floss boxes.
I just love the elegant look of native New Zealand timbers. These
are some of the finest examples of the box makers art that I have come
across. I'm told the wood has been cut with great precision, then
skilfully folded to form the box.
While these boxes normally retail at $120 each, we are offering them to
you at the special price of just $89.95.
