THE CROSS STITCHER'S HAVEN

Welcome to my corner of the web. My name is Mary K and cross Stitching has been one of my favorite things in the world to do for the past 20 years and a great stress reliever. My favorite designers are Marilyn Leavitte Imblum and Nora Corbett. I also like Marty Bell and Just Nan. I've just discovered needlerolls. I've collected alot of interesting information on stitching from the Web and a lot of places to shop or learn new things and hope you'll find it interesting too. So sit back, smile and click and let's work on enhancing our Stash.

Okay let's start by working on our Stash first. Here is a list of some really great CROSS STITCH SHOPS ON THE WEB

A really wonderful place to shop. Lois is great. Fast courteous service and she has needlerolls. If you don't have a Local LNS to shop at you can't go wrong shopping here.

What can I say about these ladies, fast friendly service and if you haven't seen their catalog you just don't know what you are missing.
