Did you receive your floss club invoice today?

Since tomorrow is the 1st....and a Saturday.....I sent the floss club invoices out this morning. It takes more than 3 hours to send out all the invoices and by the time the payments start coming in on Saturday it would be too late to mail the shipments with the post office closing at noon. I thought by sending them out today I could mail most of them today and tomorrow if the payments are here. Some take a day or two to pay, which is fine, and then they will be mailed on Monday.

Do let me know if you did not receive your invoice. nbelgian@aol.com
Still want to join? It's never too late......join at any time during the month. One month, 2, 3, 6 or 12.

Thank you.

Don't miss the current give-aways, there is still time to sign up

Don't miss the current give-aways....there is still time to sign up for the Heirloom Treasures. That drawing will be in a couple days on the 31st.
The Free month of Limited Editions Primitive Floss will be on April 1st.
The Spring Flowers drawing will be April 14th.

And be sure you have sent me the month and date of you birthday for the Birthday Club. I draw a name on the 1st of every month and send a nice gift. Usually floss!

I will be sending out the invoices on the 1st for the three floss clubs. You can join at any time for any of the three clubs. See info at the right.

If you prepaid for the full year I have just sent your shipments. It makes it easier to mail those before the 1st.

Thank you for joining in all the fun around here! Thanks for stopping by....have a great day!

Floss Club questions? I have the answers for you

I get a LOT of questions about the 3 different floss clubs that I have. I hope these answers will help you.

A lot of you have asked if you can add to your order and the answer is yes. If you are in one floss club and you also want to try another club for one month (6 or 12 skeins) you can do that. I have to smile because I have a whole folder each month of "add ons" to orders.lol

You can add something from the ebay store, just let me know what you want me to include in your invoice. Boxed sets, sets or singles, no problem. I try to make it easier for you with one combined shipping total.

Need a gift sent to a friend's address? Yes I can do that for you. I send Birthday, special occasion and Christmas presents all the time and include a card for free. All I need is an address to calculate shipping for you. Last month I had one gal send club shipments to 3 of her friends so they could try my floss. Stitchers are the most generous people! I have met nice people all over the world through this business and that is the best part of it all.

April pre-paid shipments will go out early (shipping Monday) as I have them ready to ship for the April clubs. Regular invoices will go out on the last day of this month and the 1st.

So if you have any other questions about the clubs just email me. nbelgian@aol.com.

And I am dyeing floss all weekend.....lots of new colors and spring sets coming soon and more give-aways....of course! And I will be including the DMC conversions on all my labels from now on.

Have a nice day. Thanks for stopping by.

Limited Editions are ready for April!

The Limited Editions and the Primitive Limited Editions are ready for April.....with the help of my 3 trusty elves. They helped me by carding the floss early so I can box the sets. I will be very busy the first week of April as I have stitching friends coming to stay with me. I will still send the invoices out on the 1st for all three clubs as usual. I thought you might like to take a peek at the new colors!

For me it is always a hard decision to pick 6 of the 12 colors for those of you who only get half the each set each month. I try to split the colors into two equal groups. Here they are for April shipments:

The Limited Editions:

For those of you who get 6 skeins you get the 6 on the right. Others will get this full set.

If you belong to the Primitive Limited Editions Club, here are the April colors:

For those of you who get 6 skeins you get the 6 on the left. Others will get this full set. Once again, these colors are softer and more muted than they look on my monitor. You won't be disappointed I promise.

I hope you liked the preview. I know there are a few of you who like to see the colors before you select them. I do sell the extra boxed sets in my ebay store for $27.99 each. You don't get the club price of one free skein but you can pick up the sets you want or previous months if you missed any. I will list some of these new sets today.

Thanks for stopping by!

Adding DMC conversions to all Limited Edition colors

Although it takes a lot more time to match colors......I am adding the DMC conversions to all of the Limited Edition colors  (starting next month) and the Primitive Limited Edition colors for the clubs. There will be times when a color is so variegated that I cannot match it....but for the most part, I will be able to give you the conversions. You can then cross reference to other companies using the DMC color.
I know this helps a lot of stitchers who need the conversion. I have always just selected colors I want for a design and don't go by names or numbers but I though this added work would pay off if it helps some of you. These will all be available from me direct, through the clubs and listed in my ebay store. I list the extra boxes of Limited and Primitive Limited Editions there. You don't get the club price with the free skein but for those of you who only want to buy some here and there, they are available.

I will start adding  these conversions to my new flowers sets too.
I added them to My Mother's Flower Garden I just recently finished and I am working on a set of Red Roses next week and I will add them there too. And I have a mountain of floss to dye this spring and lots of new sets will be coming soon. I love the flower sets.....I guess they are my favorite. It seems like you can use those colors in so many designs, especially samplers.
Stay tuned for more flower sets coming soon.

We are still adding machinery to the work shop. So many saws, routers, jigs, dovetail machines, planer, jointer, etc. We will start cutting and working with the first designs for the sewing boxes later this month. We are building a security wall in the building....you can never be too safe with your investment. After we get all these things done we will be back to making picture frames and the new sewing boxes. There is always so much to do around here!

Spring.......lots of flowers and flowering trees all over our yard.  We didn't have much winter......so disappointing. But I will let these beautiful spring flowers inspire me with their brilliant colors in my flower boxes.

Thanks for stopping by!

Spring Flowers Collection give-away, enter now!

Lets keep on a roll here with the give-aways. I just dyed some new Spring Flowers and I need to give some away!
A nice color range from Narcissus Paper Whites, Favorite Peony (white with a hint of pink) Pink Blossoms, Lavender Sachet, Mother's Forget Me Nots, a couple of beautiful medium greens for leaves (Long Stem Rose and Garden Olive) Classic Red Rose, Holland Tulips, Nasturtium, etc. A $27.99 value. The first 20 boxes sold will also receive a free skein of Blue Wildflowers and I will include that skein in the give-away. Email with orders. nbelgian@aol.com

 
 
These shades are lighter and prettier in person.....I think I need a different camera. You will love these spring colors.
These have the closest DMC conversion I could match on each label. Occasionally I can't match a DMC color, especially if there is lots of variegation and more than one color.
