Over the past several weeks, I'd been driving by this storefront just a few blocks from my house. At first, I thought it was a quilt shop. Then the other day, I saw a sign in the window that said "Cross Stitch, DMC, Hand-dyed threads" Whoa! Back up the pony...
Could it be true? An LNS in my city? There hasn't been one of those here for at least 15 years. So while I was out on my walk, I made it a point of walking by the storefront.
Sure enough, it's an honest to goodness LNS! The Stitching Shop (imagine that!). It's only open for a few hours on Sat and Sun, but you can bet I'm going to go check it out! It'd be great to connect with some local stitchers. :)

Oooh very cool! I hope they have lots of new stash for you.
Lucky you to have a close store to spend your money, sorry to buy great stash !!! lol I'm jealous ;-)
And even more : you can walk there to get fit and get great stash! life's so unfair !!! lol
With all that space and opening only on weekends, I hope they hold some weekday evening stitching get togethers.
Oh you are so lucky!
Very cool! I have never had a true LNS, and have to drive 25 miles now to buy DMC.
Enjoy :)
oh wow, can't wait to hear what it's like.
Hey, Thanx for the welcome back. Woot! A Stitching shop. Have fun ^.~
You are going to be in heaven to have a LNS close by. Enjoy!!
You are soooooooooooooooo lucky! I want an LNS so bad!
This just CONFIRMS that you chose the right house to move into!!! Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy and be sure to share the details!!! :)
Way Cool. I am happy for you! I had one in Cheyenne and it was pretty dangerous for me.
Your Joy ornament is looking very pretty, and how great that you'll have a local LNS. The closest one I've had was about 25 min. from my house, and that closed a couple years back. Now if I need a LNS fix it is a little over an hour to my closest one. Enjoy your visit and I want to hear all about what you see and any stash you decide you can't pass up.
