august 2005 release:  flower for a friend from our dearest  friends at mosey 'n me  f (complete kit) $20.00
32 count awareness pink, weeks dye works and jabc button and all finishing supplies including tin pin. 

these are exclusive to elegant stitch on elegant stitch's 32 count awareness pink from r&r reproductions and the kits are limited editions.  if you are on automatic, you will receive the new kit right after the first of each month.  we will kit up enough to cover our automatics and some extra and once that month's kit is gone, we won't  make anymore and  the piece will be retired. 

all kits come with the exclusive designer's chart, linen, appropriate threads & buttons, all finishing supplies and finishing instructions.  in other words, everything you need to make the kit for that month.  the most expensive kit will remain at $20.00 - the least expensive kit will be $15.00 and the price will be set based entirely on the stitching and finishing supplies.  we have some wonderful ideas for finishing...and not all of them will be in the tin pins - depending on the designs as they come in from essy's friends.  we want to make this fun and interesting and teach you some easy, quick and fun ways to finish as well as make our contribution to our many 'pink' charities.  

we've had some wonderful ideas come in from the stitchers over the last two weeks.  lab techs who are stitching the pins and wearing them on their coats, mammography techs who are stitching them and giving them to that special patient who needs somebody to remember how terrific and important they are, gifts to survivors, somebody who is stitching them for her doctor daughter so the doctor can give them to special patients, birthday presents, remembrance presents, kits or stitched pieces...it is incredible how wonderful and thoughtful people are and how generous and kind with their time and talents.  

we are honored, flattered and overjoyed with your response to our project...and we have some incredible designs coming up...and over the next couple of weeks more of the finished designs will be rolling in the door from  essy's designer friends.  it's hard to decide which one to put up next...and i'm so looking forward to playing with each one of these and giving them that special touch.  we have had designs come in using overdyed cottons, needlepoint inc silk, gloriana silks, every possible fiber and that is what makes these so fun - they are all so different and reflect the personalities and talents of each designer and also give the stitcher the opportunity to work with different fibers.

SO...long story short...if you are signed up on the automatic and changing this program to monthly is okay with you - you DO NOT  need to respond, we will leave it status quo.  if you are signed up on automatic and do not wish to continue with the monthly program, please contact me at lois@elegantstitch.com and we will remove your name from our list.  please remember that we will kit up a certain number above and beyond our automatic and once those kits are gone, the kit will be retired and will be unavailable.  this is the only way we can keep what is left of our brains and the only way we can keep the supplies straight for each kit and we hope you understand.  we thank you for your support...and we hope you enjoy the treasures that are going to be forthcoming. 

coming soon:  twisted threads, black star,  heart in hand needlearts,  olde willow stitchery, just another button company,  chessie & me, blackbird designs, crescent colors
