Stitchin' Post in Sisters

Hand knit gift ideas

If you are wondering about what hand-knit project to make this holiday here is an amazing display of "Barb's Ruffle" scarves. Made by our very own Kati Lindbloom from the ever-favorite Churchmouse pattern. We have the patterns available in the store for $5, or call/email us and we will mail one out to you. Kati used a variety of yarns (Madelinetosh Light, Manos Serena and the always popular Koigu KPPPM). You will need approx. 300-350 yards of fingering weight yarn and size US6 circular needles 32" for the project. It is a fun project and anyone would love to receive this scarf as a gift.

If you are looking for one that is already made stop by our Employee Holiday Boutique (starts November 25th) and pick out your favorite one.

Happy Knitting!

We have wonderful gifts for the creative child in your life. Have you seen Claire and Ulysse, our new Bla Bla dolls? They are straight off the farm and adorable as ever. These dolls are the perfect gift for the wee ones, hand knit and washable (yea!).

If you are looking for fun stocking stuffers, look no further than this group of goodies. The travel-sized sonic toothbrush is my personal favorite. All these items are perfect for the "on-the-go" people in our lives, just toss in your purse and go. 

 Wait...here comes the pampering section...These candles and lotions are made with all natural ingredients and are made in the USA! Yea! We have body lotion, hand balm and soy candles.

The perfect hostess gift is a towel or apron designed by our very own Valori Wells. We commissioned Rag n Bone to make custom journals and photo albums from Valori's fabric as well. 

 And last but certainly not least, we have all been waiting for the Karavan to arrive!! It is here in all its glory. Shop Valori Well's new fabric line "Karavan" by Free Spirit.

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone and enjoy your shopping.

Karavan is Here!

Val's new line of fabric, Karavan, arrived today!

There are many new samples of quilts, bags, little wallets, and
stuffed animals made from the colorful, new line of fabric:

 

"Elsa" made with Karavan flannel and "Little Wallets" made from cotton.

 

New "Josie Bag" made with hand-embroidery embellished front panel.

 

New samples of "Nested Bag" made with Karavan fabric.

 

New samples of "Petal Pouches" and "Project Bags" made from Karavan fabrics.

It is always fun to take favorite tried-and-true patterns
and revive them with fun new fabrics!

Congratulations Valori!

Valori just returned from International Quilt Market, where she was promoting her new line of fabric called "Karavan" (due to arrive at the Stitchin' Post any day!)  While at market, Valori won Second Place for her booth!  Here is one BIG reason why:

This is Jewels, a one-of-a-kind prop, created to  by Val, to accompany her to Quilt Market.  Of course everyone is asking...will there be a pattern?  What do you say Val? 

Meet Susan!

Susan is one of our "regulars" at Wednesday Sit & Knit.  Last week she brought in this gorgeous sweater that she just finished.  This was a two year project and well worth the time invested...it is absolutely fabulous! 

The sweater is wool (on the softer side of wools!) with intricate color changes.  Susan said the wide section of pattern (with the red, orange, pink & gold) is called Celtic Animals.  Very beautiful!

 

 

 

 

This week, Susan brought in this cute hat...

Lots of small colorful pieces, knitted together to create texture and pattern throughout.  Very fun!

Great job Susan...you really know how to challenge yourself!

It must be November 1st...

Even before tearing off the October calendar page, I could have told you it must be November 1st! 

Not because of the sugar hang-over this morning.  Not because of the chilling temperature outside.  No...I could tell it was November 1st because of the number of phone calls this morning asking "What day is Pajama Sale?"

Pajama Sale is Saturday, November 12th.  It is always on the SECOND SATURDAY in November.  Our two biggest events of the year are both second Saturday events:  Quilt Show is the second Saturday in July and PJ Sale is the second Saturday in November.

The earlier you arrive, the bigger your discount AND if you're wearing your pajamas or robe, you will get an extra 5% discount!  Here's how it breaks down:

6:30-8:30 am~ 30% off
8:30-11 am~ 25% off
11 am- 2 pm~ 20% off
2-5 pm~ 15% off

We hope to see you bright and early
(and in your jammies!) on Nov 12th.
