Hello Friend!
I know it's not officially summer but with the warm weather this week, we can't be blamed for thinking summer is already here. I, for one, am overjoyed with the hot weather. It's my happy time!

We know that when summer rolls around, not everyone wants to be in their sewing room. So, this week's email is all about Summer Stitchin' projects you can work on wherever your summer plans might take you, be it on the front porch, watching the Blue Jays or on road trips.
Did someone say, "Summer Stitchin'"?...

Summer Stitchin'
Had me a blast!

Summer Stitchin'
I was stitchin' so fast.

I found some projects.
They called to me!

Oh, these projects.
Cute as can be!

Summer days spent stitchin' away.
To, uh oh, those stitchin' nights!

Tell me more, tell me more!

My apologies to Olivia Newton John, John Travolta and the cast of Grease for messing with the Summer Nights hit song!

Summer Stitchin' Cross Stitch

Tami loved picking out the summer stitchin' cross stitch projects but I'm not sure she loved pulling all the floss to go in them. The great thing about the cross stitch kits is that they contain the pattern, cloth and the DMC floss too. Some kits even including finishing touches as well. You don't have to think twice as to whether you'll have everything you need when you're ready to get started.

Seasonal Stitchin'

If you're like me, the thought of working on a Christmas cross stitch project right now might not fit the summer stitchin' criteria. That said, I was told to share a friendly public service announcement with you...

If you want to enjoy some of the more involved cross stitch projects as finished décor pieces this coming year, you are encouraged to start now.
Seasonal Patterns and Kits Available!

We have a wide assortment of seasonal patterns and kits to help set a festive tone. One pattern / kit in particular is North Pole. Primrose Cottage Stitches has a North Pole Stitch Along on their Instagram and YouTube channel, and they will keep you on track over the course of the next few months.

Take a walk through the North Pole. Visit Santa and Mrs. Claus, stroll through the shops, have some hot cocoa, play with the snowmen and help the elves wrap gifts. Is there anything missing from this magical North Pole vision? 

North Pole and other seasonal patterns and kits are available now.
Happiness Blooms - Price Drop!

With prices going up on just about everything these days, it's nice to be able to offer a price reduction on a great fabric collection that we've enjoyed very much as part of our Friday Flashback!
Happiness Blooms is a tribute to the joy of time spent together as a family and a HOME built with LOVE. This collection is filled with delicate watercolour ferns, and flowers on linen and charcoal-coloured fields. The soft monotones, warm ginghams and heartwarming sayings would fit perfectly into almost any décor to celebrate the beauty and happiness of HOME.

We still have a good selection of fabrics and a few kits left over from this collection. With all the florals and greenery, they will be perfect for summer stitchin'!
New Inspiration!

There are still many opportunities left to be explored with this collection and we even did some exploring of our own this week and came up with something new!
