I visited the store yesterday & today, it’s fabulous! I’m new to needlepoint and Diane taught me how to do the basket weave stitch and answered many other questions I had. Having this store not too far from home is wonderful. I will definitely be back to visit again soon.

Diane was extremely pleasant and helpful, and she has a little bit of a LOT of different types of needlework supplies. Plus some thread lines that you don’t see everywhere. Stop in and I’m sure you’ll find something you like!
