We have had beautiful Fall weather here in
Kansas. I do not know where the time gets
away to, but we are moving in to the holiday
season. The link to the ornament issue is being
fine-tuned. It will be available Wednesday,
Nov. 3.
I hope you enjoyed the Halloween stitch along
and the fun design “Witch Parking Only” from
Glendon Place as well as the chat with Cheryl
Granda, the designer.
The Tea Shoppe Forum and the chat are now
linked together in the new social area of The
Stitchers’ Village. I regret that this does require
a new sign in registration to use these functions,
but I believe you will all find this to be much
more interactive and will allow members to
connect. This does not replace the home site.
This is strictly the social area of The Stitchers’
Village. The home site will continue to host the
shops, classes, the library, and all the excellent
resources. This is the heart of the Village and
we want to keep this strong as we add the social
modules to enhance it.
“Witch Parking Only”
Is still available with purchase
from your TSV shops
Designer, Cheryl Granda, so very
generously designed this exclusively for
the members of The Stitchers’ Village.
She also hosted a chat on Saturday, Oct.
30 to discuss her designs and the stitch
along. We wish to thank her for her
generosity and participation on The
Stitchers’ Village!!

The Stitchers’ Village 2010 Ornaments
The Stitchers’ Village Social Scene
Ornaments from Old Willow
Stitchery and Rosewood Manor are
two of the ornaments that will be
released on Wednesday in The
Stitchers’ Village 2010 Ornament
Issue of the “Stitchers’ Voice”.
The link to the file will be in the
newspaper office on the bulletin board. As of the publish
time of this edition, the link was still being fine tuned.
Members of The Stitchers’ Village can now become much
more social with their fellow Villagers! When you click on
the Tea Shoppe link, you will now be taken to the social side
of the Village. This module has been in the testing process
for the past couple of weeks and was used this past weekend
for the Halloween stitch along chat with Cheryl Granda from
Glendon Place.
You will need to sign in with the email you used when you
registered on The Stitchers’ Village and the password will be
the city listed on your registration form.
We hope that you will take time to thank the generous designers who contributed the beautiful ornament designs and
hopefully, they will visit us in the Village soon!
Ornament Stitch Along
Let’s plan the month of November to be an ornament stitch
along for TSV members. Through the month, post your
starts, finishes, and progress of any ornaments you wish to
stitch in the “Forum” on the new social area of the site.
Check the “Events” for times and dates of chats. Go to the
Tea Shoppe and click through!!
This new platform will allow members to have their very
own “page” which can be personalized. It allows for photos
to be shared and discussions and chats to be held. Members
can now discuss favorite projects and share latest finishes.
There will be events and “get-togethers”. This by no means
takes the place of the home site!! The shops, school, and all
the other features of the site will be available and continue to
provide the same services as they have. This is merely an
enhancement so that the Village can reach a new level of
interaction!!
For the next week or so, members can register and sign in
without going through a validation process. After that, a
validation will be put into effect to prevent the spammers
from posting. We are off to a great start with 241 members
as of this morning.
Sign in now by clicking on the link in the Tea Shoppe!
