Coins Patriotic
I just LOVE my local needlework store (LNS) Fanci-Mats and More in downtown Littleton, Colorado!! I called Friday to see if they had the thread I needed to finish the "Coins Patriotic" I posted about previously under Olympic Stitching. She did not have any, but was waiting on a back order. I then mentioned my disappointment since I wanted to finish before the end of the Olympics and only had maybe 4 inches left to do but the kit did not have enough. She asked it I had gotten the kit at her shop and when I said yes, she looked to see if she had any "shop thread" in that color. Well, she did!!!! So I went over after work and got enough (and a bit more) to get it finished!!! All for no charge. I think shop thread is stuff left over from when they stitch models and it sure worked out great for me! While there I did pick up a cute pair of scissors :) too!!
That is a darling stitch!! And, you are so so blessed to not only have a LNS, but to have one as caring as that one!! I need to go now on line and check the shop out~~~ Great job, Faye
ReplyDeleteYou are so lucky to have a LNS. I guess I took them for granted before I moved to KY. I just assumed they were everywhere (as they should be). I have even considered opening one up myself! I can't be the only one around here wanting one.
ReplyDeleteI love this piece. So patriotic and you know that's right up my alley!
Beautiful stitching!
That was sweet of the owner! Isn't it nice when you have a relationship with the owner of an LNS - so much better than just trying to do everything online, in my opinion.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful Sunday!
Great service! And a nice finish.
ReplyDeleteI wish I had a LNS close to me in those spare of the moment times when I need something quickly. You are so lucky! Your Coins Patriotic looks great too.
ReplyDeleteHappy Stitching
