I was stunned when I got my mail today and I had an invitation from Nordic
Needle for a closing sale. They sent out invitations to loyal patron for a
week of shopping before notifying the general public about their closing
They will be closing their doors forever after 42 years. What a loss. We
have the general craft stores like Michaels, Hobby Lobby and JoAnne's but
Nordic Needle was our only actual needlework store for quite a area around
us. I don't know if there are any others closer than the Minneapolis area.
I guess the young people of today just don't stitch or do needlework. How
sad is that. I will sure miss them.

Wow! I am amazed and dismayed :( I think the problem is young
people today don't do things we would ever have considered 'a craft' -
I expect they will be back but they will never know the lust and
pleasure of entering a needlework shop.

I somehow dropped off their paper mailing list some time ago. It's an
arduous, boring ride up there from Minneapolis, but I did it often in my
single 20's days. I may have to plan a final road trip in the near future.

Another one bites the dust. Breaks my heart. :(

I will say I had a lot of problems ordering from the Nordic Needle online....things were back ordered MANY months, them "losing" a returned package (when the tracking said it was delivered), and some not-so-great customer service. Nonetheless I hate to see a needlework shop close...they're just too rare these days.

I really, really dislike online shopping for stitching supplies, but it looks like that's the only way we'll be able to get anything in a few years.

I'm 44 and all of my friends think stitching is an "old lady hobby." Hey, I started stitching when I was 10! In our county fair they've done away with the needlework category entirely because no one enters anymore. I'm going to see if I can't get the category reopened next year though, and submit some of my stuff...not to win ribbons, but to show people stitching is NOT an old lady art. Especially with all the cool patterns and hand-dyed fabrics/threads these days. Or maybe I'm just a dreamer.

Nordic Needle
 

This is so very sad. Somehow I had managed to drop off their mailing list, and sadly hadn't noticed.

I'm fortunate that I have always had good needlework shops near me, but I drooled over many of NN designs.

Did you get over there? I was on the road out of Bismarck at 6 a.m. Joan and I (and her co-worker) met in the parking lot of a Now-closed restaurant a block away and walked over to Nordic Needle. Shopping was not fun - a half hour in line to have fabric cut, then trying to find some things that may or may not have been there. Finally, at least 45 minutes in the checkout line.

After we met back at our cars in the parking lot, we had a nice lunch at Olive Garden. It's where Joan and I usually go.

There are some excellent stores elsewhere that have great online shopping. One of my favorites is Needle in a Haystack in Alameda, CA. But I do spread my "wealth" around.

I didn't go because I just didn't want to fight the crowds and I don't
really need anything right now. I wonder if they intend to have the online
store or if they will close that too. I had found that they were not doing
as well service wise when it came to something that they had to order for
you. It seemed like it took forever to get and sometimes they even forgot
to order it. I had several bad experiences like that. One took over two
months for me to get. Hope you guys got some good specials and had a good
lunch. I love Olive Garden.

I work in Alameda about 10 minutes from NIAH. The shop is very small and crowded now that they've downsized again. I only go if I want something specific and need it immediately.

I frequently go to Madonna Needleworks down in Morgan Hill.

Go drool over the online catalog.

Well, it was a madhouse, and I'm not fond of crowds, so I was happy to get out. Joan went back after lunch, but I decided to hit the road for the 3 hour trip home.

Nordic Needle
 

But they have an excellent online catalog. Honestly, they usually don't have something in stock when I place an order, but they do place their order quickly, and they always let me know they've had t special order and give me a timeframe as to how long it might be before they get it. I've had wonderful service.

Nordic Needle
 

Were the prices really marked down a lot or was it just one of those "looks
like a sale". I have so much fabric I wouldn't be able to use it all it 3
lifetimes. I don't need anymore kits or charts so that was out. I might
need some needles but was not going to make a trip over there just for
something like that.

From what I understand is they're going to try keep the online business
going. They will know more by around November what they're going to do
with the site.

I had found that they were not doing as well service wise when it
came to something that they had to order for you.
Y'know, I've never found their in-store service to be great. The best
service I had was about 8 years ago when they had a girl about 19
working there. The older workers seemed like they didn't have the time
of day for you. And it wasn't just me. Talking to a woman while
standing in line, she was saying she was going to try some hardanger
pattern. She was a beginner and the "help" told her it was too hard for
her and she should start with something much easier"!!! That really
turned her off. I agreed and said they could have told her "we have
some great tutorials on our site and if you need help, stop in on our
stitchy nights and we'd be glad to help" sort of statement.

Their people on the phones have always been a *great* help, though!

Yeah, that's the thing. It cost $25 to enter projects in our fair, but the winner only gets $3. In years before they judged the pieces so harshly (with a frickin' page of criticisms for even the winners) people got too scared to enter. And now no one enters. Given this I do understand why no one wants to participate, but the downside is that needlearts are being lost. Last year I saw two quilts entered and that was it for the entire fiber art division!

Joan, I haven't posted a pic yet, but I just got that red hardanger heart framed and that's one of the pieces I'm going to enter in the fair next summer. It turned out fabulous, but there is one tiny and obvious (to me) mistake in it when I did the eyelets. I decided to let it go and left it in there because no one else would even notice, but I bet the judges will rip me a new one for the error.

Speaking of cool patterns, one of the ones I picked up on Thursday was a
set of the fractal bookmarks. I've drooled over those fractals since
they first came out!

I'd never seen those so I looked them up...pretty cool! They're almost like mini HAEDs (Heaven and Earth Designs, full coverage projects). I'm not a HEAD girl myself, but the bookmarks would be manageable.

On a side note: I just got a Lowery floor stand from Amazon.com and have been loving it...I'm still stitching away on A Wicked Plant, Maple Leaf, and Bird On A Nest (which I probably won't finish before death, because canvas work hurts my hands). What is everyone else working on?

I got a Lowery floor stand almost 20 years ago and I still find it to be
the one I like best of the 4 I have. I am currently working on Dyan
Allaire's of Kustom Krafts, Santa's Helpers. I started it about 3 weeks ago
and it has been slow going due to back and neck problems but weather is
changing so soon will be time to relax a little and get some good stitching
in.

Sharon, is this the piece you're working on? I had some trouble looking it up, but if it's this piece I like it a lot:

http://kustomkrafts.com/shop/images/9975.jpg


I should have gotten a stitching floor stand long before now but didn't want to fork out the cash. The Lowery Stand was patented over 30 years ago (in 1986) and I think it's just too costly...with the accessories I needed it came to over $200. It's essential for ergonomic stitching and I'm happy to have it, but geez, it seems everything in the needleart hobby is way too expensive. I suppose it's that way for all hobbies being that they're considered "luxuries." Sometimes I wonder if the exorbitant prices have contributed to the downfall of this art.

-----------------------

Funny side note: I want to start stitching Mirabilia's Snow Queen this winter and have purchased the pattern, the fabric, and the longer scroll rods....but I've been hesitant to buy the thread/accessory pack as it's well over $100.


Snow Queen pattern: http://www.123stitch.com/item/Mirabi...attern/16-1207

Fabric I've chosen: https://www.youthfulhandsneedlecraft...der-twilight-1


I was asking my husband if maybe he'd like to get the thread pack for me for Xmas, and he said, "oh hun, Xmas is so far away, you'll probably run of things to stitch before then!"

(*crickets*)

I finally managed to stammer, "thanks for your concern darlin', but I think I'll be ok."

Clearly he hasn't been watching the packages arrive from 123stitch lately, nor has he seen my stash. If he had, he'd know I have enough stitching to last me until the apocalypse!

I don't think so when I look at the prices for other crafts at say
Michaels. I was very fortunate to get a 'Lowery' stand knock off
years ago, made by a local man.

YIKES! At least there's no cost to *enter* ours.

In years before they judged the pieces so harshly
I don't think there's anyone actually *knowledgable* about stitching
doing our judging (one piece was so badly mounted there were *ripples*
in the framed work! I wanted to wait for the person and give them some
pointers about mounting and framing!!!). I always thought it would be
helpful to know how to improve one's work but, like you said, being
judged too harshly would definitely put a damper on the spirit of the
competition.

I hope you enjoy it...I just love mine. It takes a lot of tinkering/adjusting to find the ergonomic sweet spot in the beginning, so don't get frustrated. Once you get that down though, it's nothing but great stitching from then on!

Enjoy every moment of your life...there is no second chance.
