For nearly 30 years, Village Stitches in Bloomington, Illinois, has provided superior service and supplies to stitchers from near and far, and our new owner is proud to carry on this tradition.  With the largest selection of canvases and fibers in Central Illinois, you're sure to find just the right needlepoint project to suit your tastes.  Don't see what you want?  Our shop orders hand painted canvases from hundreds of designers, and offers custom painting for that one-of-a-kind masterpiece.  And when your work of art is complete, trust Village Stitches to have it finished to your satisfaction.

For those that prefer charted work, we have expanded our inventory to include cross stitch charts and kits from your favorite designers.  Fabric may be ordered and purchased by the square inch, and our selection is growing weekly.  We have the complete color card of both Weeks Dye Works and the Gentle Art overdyed floss and will soon be carrying the overdyed floss from Threadworx.  Stop by...new charts, fabrics and fibers arrive all the time, and we now offer Just Cross Stitch magazine!

Knitters too can choose from an array of yarns, patterns and excellent needle selections to complete a variety of fun projects.  Our yarn department has undergone a complete overhaul since the spring of 2009 boasting
great color selection in yarns by Dream in Color, Mission Falls, Kraemer, Cascade, Knit One Crochet Too, Berroco, Fiber Trends, Universal, and the local dye pots of Chickeninthewoods.

And gather all your goodies together in one of our totes. We carry a variety of styles to hold your needlework projects in fun, fanciful style.

A Note from Jennifer

Well, it's winter!

Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season.  We've gotten our favorite nasty job out of the way....Inventory is done for another year!!!!!!!!!!

I've ordered new canvases and have orders out to re-stock fibers.  No sense in having to count any more than absolutely necessary, eh?  Yarn orders have started to roll in as well.

Sit and Stitch is still every Tuesday and Wednesday night from 6:30 til 8:30.  Folks are really enjoying getting to meet new people and share their creations with adoring fans! 

New classes are in the final planning stage.  Looks like mittens will be first up on Thursday nights, and a quick and pretty keyhole scarf to crochet is coming up at the end of January on Sunday afternoon.  We are hoping to schedule a needlepoint class during this long, cold, winter season....stop by the shop and view Pat's beautiful bag and give us your thoughts on this.

Of course, the girls have been busy stitching and their beautiful work can be viewed all over the shop.  At any given time there are so many fine examples of both needlepoint and cross stitch and all the gorgeous ways these items can be finished.

Our latest forray into the adventurous world of stitching is the Tree Sweater being built for the big tree just outside our front gate.  Feel free to add a bit of "yourself"  to keep our Village Stitches flora the best dressed (and now the wamest) in Bloomington! 




See you at the shop, and happy stitching!
Jennifer
