FREE entrance just get a couple of you together to share parking.  www.RustyBarn.com   Carol and Alan have all the new stuff including the Animal Stackers Tea Towels Zip over to the show and say hello to our Bird Brain Design Team with lots of goodie for you!

As promised, we have more of the great vintage Wooden Mill Bobbins used so long ago at factories in the Northeast. You can use them as decorations or put  your scissors in them so you always know where they are!  I have wrapped some ribbons around a batch too so they look nice in the studio and are easy to find. Not too many of the Bobbins match but a variety actually looks better.  Enjoy some in your home before all these Oldies but Goodies disappear for ever!

Yesterday, Eric, the UPS man brought our NEW Tea Towels from Dunroven House to the Store.  This style has a White Background with bold colorful borders on all 4 sides. All of the border colors will accent or complement your embroidery.  I haven’t had a moment to wash some of these great looking towels and add a fun embroidered designs yet…..soon!

Easter is just around the corner so I am quickly finishing up a Bunny Rabbit Door Stop for you.  You are getting a Preview look before he is complete. This Spring Time kind of guy needs to be stuffed and then ready for the next steps.  I’ll write instructions and take his “official” photo for the Pattern label.  Off to the printers and in the Studio we can pull together all the makings for a Materials Packet for you.  Plenty of time to Embroider him for Spring and Easter. Watch your Newsletter in a few days. Happy Spring is coming!!

Decorate your bed to have sweet dreams and a great night’s sleep.  Making RedWork – or ANY Perle Cotton Color to accent your Bedroom – Pillowcases are not hard at all.  Embroider on our Pre-Made Hemstitched Pillowcases or use instructions included in the pattern to quickly make your own. Each of your Patterns has a Pair of Pillowcases and several Designs for you to choose from.  (One Kitty Pillowcase was hiding when this photo was taken!) Embroider your design on a very nice Hemstitched Pillowcase.  Easy to stitch on by opening the side seam and the hem for more room for your hoop.  See our Website for additional photos. Enjoy your Embroidery and Sleep Well!
