There are so many online sites for fabrics, floss, accessories, free patterns, and more. With Local Needlework Shops (LNS) becoming an endangered species as more close every day, it is imperative that we needleworkers support the online shops when we cannot get to a LNS.
While I do not carry fabrics, floss, and accessories that does not mean that you cannot obtain these items so that you can complete your project.
Please visit these wonderful sites and expand your stitching horizons!

Did you know? Did you know that if you should happen to run out of floss or lose the chart for a kit that you can contact the manufacturer directly (ie., Dimensions, Leisure Arts, janlynn, etc.)?
