Just over the border from North Carolina lies a lovely store, Stitching Fox owned by Kathryn, who gave me a tour of the store. She’s been growing and learning along with her clients since she fulfilled her dream of opening a needlepoint store in 2020. She’s bound to succeed!
I bet a few significant others have enjoyed these chairs! Bill was golfing, or he’d have been there.
She has several monthly clubs for Fall Leaves, Foxes, and Candy Canes.
There are trunk shows and 30% off clearance items so she can bring home new items from Market.
Mary Pat is one of her right hand gals along with Vicki G, who teaches on Saturday and writes stitch guides for the store. This place may be the Southern Fireside Stitchery! Friendly people and really well stocked thread lines, especially for the most popular threads with 12″ deep pegs.
And there will be a good number of classes in 2025 with Kelly Clark (canvas embellishment), Brenda Stofft (sessions for Baby Santa and Baby Bunnies & Cart), Kate Dickerson & Elaine Aidonis (canvas embellishment), and Cynthia Thomas (Halloween Hat canvas, 2 sessions of BYO canvas embellishment & Help I’m Stuck, and a 1-day retreat for an anything is fair game day). She has great lighting and plenty of space. You can’t even see the 4th table at the far end and around the corner.
Stitching Fox has a nice selection of threads (about 50 thread lines), some miscellaneous items such as Access Commodites Double Twist Gimp, rhinestone chains, and a rack with leftover threads from past classes.
Then, I was blown away by the suite upstairs. See the link to Book Your Stay on her website! You can book the 2 bedrooms/1 bath/kitchen/living room by the night. How cool is that! The teachers get to stay there when they teach. No wonder Brenda will be there 6 days and Cynthia will be there 8 days. It certainly would make a great escape trip for 3 or 4 people to stay.
I did get her store’s magnet that looks just like her store! Accoutrement Designs has fantastic magnets.
The thread and book that I picked up will be subjects for another time.
