Nease's Needlework is pleased to welcome you here, and humbled you would visit! Please feel free to shop around. If you do decide to create a web account it has a lot of advantages. It will keep your shipping addresses for you, and remembers the contents of your cart for next time. Your account will keep track of any gift certificates someone might have bought for you, too. And you can write reviews for your fellow stitchers to learn from them (such as the current one for Trans-X Graph paper). We've worked hard to make the features easy to use and representative of how you shop in a store.

 As many of you may know, we closed the brick and mortar store in August, 2008. Since this website is the cross stitch and needlepoint "shop" now, you are probably going to find something to entice you. Looking for eyeglasses or scissors? Simply enter that key word in the "Search" box to the right. Need some buttons to embellish a design? You'll find them in the "Accessories" box to the left. Or click on the "New" link in the top left-hand box, and you can see what's newest on the site. Need something you don't see? Simply call (404) 380-1875 or e-mail me from your account, and I'll be able to respond by that evening or early the next morning (I have a day job, you see . . .).

If you've been a framing or finishing customer over the years, thank you for your faith and business. I don't have the resources yet to continue with that aspect of the business - call me at (404) 380-1875 for some recommendations for these services.

What's new to the website, you might ask?  Aside from the monumental task of adding all of the colors of DMC floss (over 400!), I've added patterns by Bright Needle Designs and some of the newest designs by Mirabilia, and finally some fabrics to boot.  First up are the hand-dyed fabrics by R&R Reproductions (the pioneer in these products) and some hand-dyed Jobelans by Picture This Plus.  Each of these pieces is individually labeled and photographed with a skein of DMC white so that you can better see what the color looks like on your monitor.  Also on the site are regular 28 count Jobelans imported by Wichelt Imports with photos from their catalog where available.

 And new for the Christmas stitching season are those wonderful Buttoned and Beaded Kits by Gay Bowles/Mill Hill.  These are some of the finest kits I've seen in a long time, and they were always great impulse buys by customers in my shop.  There are tiny diamond ornaments, hanging Christmas trees, and beaded pins to stitch and wear during the season and for many years to come.  Check them out by clicking the New button on the left-hand side of the home page.

A few new updates are on the Nease's Needlework blog, and I've stuck (for the most part!) with stitching or knitting projects. I have a posting, photos and all, of a 30 year old needlepoint UFO, just to reassure everyone that even the "pros" have a stash, too! You'll also see my movie rant along with the requisite kitty pictures, and I just finished a post about my late dog Dave *sniff*. Feel free to visit the site, add comments, or link your own blog to it: in this world, the more, the merrier! The blog site is www.neasesneedlework.blogspot.com.

Sheepish is now open in the old NNW location in downtown Decatur to answer your knitting, crocheting, spinning, and even weaving questions. Please call the old phone number (404) 377-6875, and you will hear a friendly voice answer whatever questions you might have. You can also visit their website at Sheepish.biz.

We are always adding things to the site nowadays, so check back often! And don't hesitate to call.
