Road Trip to Threads Too Needlepoint

Bill and I met Linda P and Cynthia S from ANG New Jersey Needle Artists at Threads Too Needlepoint in Fair Haven, NJ to get books for redistribution from Nanette Costa’s library. Over half of the 60+ books have been claimed by either members of my EGA Brandywine Guild or ANG Main Line Stitchers Chapter. I will take the rest as an opportunity to visit a couple of other nearby chapters!

Threads Too Needlepoint is a bright colorful store with lots of canvases, finishing accessories, and a variety of threads including couple of unique threads: an overdyed Perle cotton #5 by House of Embroidery (H of E) and Radiance Metallics by The Meredith Collection. I resisted both not having a specific project for them.

It was a HOT day in Philadelphia and a tad cooler at the shore especially in the shade sitting at a favorite Seaside Park bar in the breeze sipping on a cool refreshment (Bill and I). Crabs at our favorite restaurant, Bum Rogers, capped off a lovely day.

It was nice to meet up with you and your husband. Hope all the books find a home.

I bought some Radiance to try on a new project and see how it is. They had a piece stitched with only Radiance and it looked like it was beaded.

We went up the street before our trek home and had a great lunch at The Raven Tea Room. A must stop if you visit Threads Too.

I didn’t see the piece stitched with Radiance.
