Girl Clubs
Our “Girl Clubs” are fun to belong to because they are a way of gifting yourself with a unique new and exciting handwork project that most people don’t have from a wonderful imaginative design team . It will most likely pertain to the upcoming season or holiday. We try to keep our projects exclusive and partner with our favorite designers so you know you will have something that is one of a kind.
I hope you will find your new clubs very enjoyable and if you have not tried one I hope you will give us a call 608-588-2510.
For anyone joining clubs please read carefully:
It is your responsibility to call us if you change your credit card number or have had it compromised or have a new address. Please , if we call you once, call us back to let us know if you have any changes or wish to be taken off the club. We do not want to make call after call and never hear from you. If we have to call you more than twice and not hear from you, you will be taken out of the club. I’m sure you can understand that this can become a problem for us and we must figure out when enough is enough. Thank you for being mindful.

Welcome to my “obsession and passion”. Samplers! I love a great old sampler with an interesting border, an amazing house, motifs that speak to you, trees, bands of alphabet there are so many factors that make up a great sampler in my mind and most of all one that keeps your interest. So hang on ladies and get ready for another year to remember. We will stitch on 36 count linen unless you pre-arrange a different count such as 32 or 40, we will use overdyed threads with colors that are pleasing and remind you of our recognizable style. The samplers will be dated around the 18th and 19th century and from our designers own private collections.
Now to accomplish this feat we have amassed an unforgettable design team I am sure you will love. Dream Team 2022:
Vickie Jennett from Needlework Press, Kathleen Littleton from Cross Stitch Antiques, Birgit Tolman from The Wishing Thorn, and Sylvia Stecker from Running with Needles & Scissors
This is your invitation to explore and experience a world of sampler knowledge from four very knowledgeable sampler designers. Your projects could be a whole sampler, a pinkeep with elements of an old sampler, it may use two different linens but again our count of choice will be 32, 36, or 40 you can choose your comfort zone. There will be one surprise after another you won’t want to miss.
If this sounds intriguing and something you would enjoy our 2023-2024 Registration for new members is NOW Open for business June 1,2023.

We are just getting ready to ship our new 2023 club rotation next week September 17th 2023. Sylvia Stecker is our first designer from Running with Needles and Scissors. You will enjoy her antique reproduction of “Milady’s Courting Conundrum”. Her little necessaries will be fun to stitch too. Lots to look forward to this new club rotation. New designers, new ideas and hours of pleasure. Heirloom linen from Needle Bling will be our linen of choice for this sampler. It is splendid to look at and stitch on.
Our last sampler for this 2022- 2023 year has shipped, it is from The Scarlet House. Meet Jane Williams 1838 This is a wonderful antique reproduction by Tanya Brockmeyer. Jane is stitched on baked clay linen from Fox and Rabbit
and uses overdyed threads. She had me with the lady and her umbrella. We are thrilled you joined us and know each new year will continue to bring you endless hours of joy.

Let’s make quilts:
“Smalls, Toppers, Runners, pieced and appliqued
So here is the idea, you will get a quilt kit and pattern from Mary four times a year. 1777 Flag Quilt
We will keep in mind the seasons and how you all like to change things up and keep your home fresh. Some will playful and fun and some may be traditional but all will do able sizes, projects that you can finish relatively quickly. Most will have front, backing and binding included so you can complete the project. Fall has just shipped and is called “Fall Formation”.
I hope this is sounding fun and a Girl Club idea we can make happen. Quilt sizes will vary from season to season. We are only projecting four per year.
Registration is always open so we can’t wait to hear from you. Let’s get back into some quilting.
