Kaleido Stitch A Needle Work Store
Summer is almost here. Here in North Alabama we are having a wonderful Spring. We have added a few new items. Check out our ever changing inventory. Vacation is not a vacation without a new project.

Pegasus Originals, Inc.
Our Newest Counted Cross Stitch Design is Humpback Bridge #490. Designed by Stephanie Seabrook Hedgepath. Virginia’s oldest covered bridge, Humpback Bridge, located near Covington, VA, was built in 1857. The center of the floor and roof is about four feet higher than the ends, giving the bridge both its appearance and its name. It is the only bridge of its design in the United States. Ask for it in your favorite Needlework store.

This is the fifth design in the Journeys With Jimanie series. Stitch Count 190 wide by 126 high - 83 Colors

Also be sure and download our free pattern and instructions for Chicken Scratch Embroidery for that look of country lace. Just visit our downloads page for the free pattern.

Annalee Waite Designs
Thank you to all the stitchers and shop owners who have contacted us. We are designing and publishing again! Look for our new patterns at TNNA in June(our distributors will have them). New titles are "TEACHERS ARE A WORK OF HEART", "MY GARDEN GATE", & "SIGNS OF SUMMER." We are in the middle of stitching the models for "FALL AND WINTER STITCHES." Check out our Pick Of The Month - "STARLIGHT FOREST." We designed this classic pattern after returning from a week-end of camping in the piney woods of Texas - and yes - the stars at night are big and bright. Spring patterns we recommend you look at "LILY GRACE", "GIRLS IN HATS", AND "THE AZALEA TRAIL". These three patterns are stitched with soft muted colors and pastels - perfect for spring.

Just Needlin'
Hello Stitchers! Yes, this is a BUSY time of year, with everyone finishing up the schoolyear. Graduations abound - from preschool to college and beyond! Look at all the Father's Day designs we have to offer - from quick and easy, to something more time-consuming. Search our CATALOG by Keyword father We JUST added the JIM SHORE additions offered from Wichelt Imports. There are kits on fabric, kits on perforated paper, and a good button selection. Lizzie Kate finished their Double Flips that started in January 2008, and are planning another series soon. Heaven and Earth Designs continues to add fantastic designs, as well as many other designers. Check our site out for the very latest in counted cross stitch, punchneedle, and even a bit of quilting! Enjoy SPRING!, but keep stitching! Thanks! Wendy
