October is our favorite month at the shop. Trunk show season is in full swing, Kate Dickerson lands mid-month, Purl & Daisy the week after, and the holiday canvases are starting to sneak onto the wall between them.

A note on finishing: if you'd like a pillow or ornament back in hand by December 20, we need your canvas by the first week of November. We are, as always, honest about our timeline and we will not overpromise.

New this month: a beginner class on Saturday mornings, six weeks, first Saturday of every month. Details on the visit page or ring the shop.

And yes, there was a squirrel in the back room last Tuesday. He is fine. The canvases are fine. The story is better in person.
