The Stitchers’ Voice - The TSV Community Newsletter
We have arrived at October! Where has the year gone? I like the warm of Summer, but there is
something wonderful about this time of year. The sunshine seems to take on a more golden hue.
But maybe that is my imagination from working with the fall colors! I was up early this morning and
had to go find some socks as my feet got cold sitting at my desk. The weather is turning cooler
here.
I hope to see some members at the shows I am going to this month. I met several last year at the
Needlework Galleria in St. Charles, MO and am certain to see some of those ladies again, this
year. The Spirit of Cross Stitch is a new show for me and it will be interesting to do a convention
floor show again. It has been quite some time since I attended one and the set up for it is different
than the hotel room set up. I hope I have all of it figured out!! I hope everything will all fit into my
vehicle! Be sure to stop and say hello if you are at either of the shows!
I am doing the “Stitch This” in conjunction with the October “drawing and contest” feature. I have
put two pumpkin outline charts on that page and the contest is to stitch one of them with a face or
decorated with any fabric, thread, embellishments, stitches, whatever and send me a picture by
email before October 28th. I thought this would be a fun activity for some Halloween stitching. I
love seeing the creativity from the talented members of TSV!
Christmas is just around the corner and there is a stitch along in the forum for the 2016 JCS ornament issue. I love seeing the work done in the stitch alongs and exchanges. It is so inspiring and I
have really been in the mood to do an ATC. Maybe we should do an ATC exchange in the form of
a mini Christmas card. SIGN UP HERE!
Have a great October and I hope to “see” you in the Village!
The shops are the key support of The Stitchers’ Village. Please visit these shops for your stitching
supplies and inspiration.

“Treasures”
by Elizabeth is #10 in the Village Home Series.
“My Village Home would be a place where all the old and
well loved treasures would live in harmony. I love to be
surrounded by items that have previous owners. I am the
designated family treasure holder. I own a wonderful two
story colonial doll house that my aunt, my mother, myself,
my brother, my daughter and my son have spent many
hours playing with it. In my perfect village home I would
have wonderful Weeping Willow Trees with creeks that
make gurgling noises that you can take lazy afternoon
naps to. It would have sheep and other animals roaming
around the property. Inside the home the walls would be
filled with an assortment of stitched pieces from every century that I could acquire. To make it the most perfect place
on this earth, an ocean would need to be very close at
hand. Long walks on the beach to collect lovely sea shells
to grace my gardens would be a definite must. I hope you
enjoy this piece and may your find your perfect Village
Home.”
Shown above are some of the products from Dames of the Needle hand-dyed linen, pom pom trim, and rick rack!
