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.
