November 2020 Newsletter
Greetings from HON
October was a busy month at HON

  • The Charley Harper Trunk Show was a huge success!

  • The Needlepoint Community hosted their first Virtual Market for retail stores to look at new designs from some of our favorite vendors. We were excited to see a couple new designers. One of our favorites is Blue Ridge Stitchery.

  • Holiday finishing has started to arrive, with lots more to come!

  • And we had a great response to our DIY Leaf Design Contest!

CURRENT TRUNK SHOW
JANE NICHOLS
NOW~Wednesday, November 30th
ALL CANVASES 20% OFF
Jane Nichols has been designing needlepoint since the early 1970’s when she worked as a canvas painter and designer for a shop in Naples, FL. Eventually, she opened her own shop specializing in custom designed crewel and hand painted needlepoint canvases. This business evolved into a custom design studio and then into a wholesale business.

Many of her designs have a beachy theme and incorporate bright pastel and primary colors in her fun canvases. This show includes tons of BELTS,
pillows, doorstops, coasters, ornaments and more.

STITCH OF THE MONTH
Whimsical
SCOTT CHURCH Canvas
This Stripey Skip Stitch creates a corduroy texture or simple wallpaper effect.
Back View
Work it in horizontal rows, like Continental, but skip a stitch after each stitch. The vertical rows will have stitches at every X while the horizontal rows will have X's on every other row. It's fun, fast and easy!
