Recently I have posted photos showing needlepoint with lots of decorative stitches along with different types of embellishing.  I want to share another piece by a Bug stitcher that really takes the embellishing to a new level!!  This Janet Zickler Casey design was stitched by Donna B!

Simple cross design … Fabulous pillow!!!

Joy's fabulous pillow!!

WOW, Karen your stocking is absolutely gorgeous!!!  Here are some photos of Karen’s stocking by Tapestry Tent.  Karen used a variety of stitches, threads, goldwork, swarovski crystals and beads and BEAUTIFUL stitching!!!  Magnificent!!

Change is good but labor intensive!!!  The Bug is undergoing some changes, while it will not affect you quite yet, it is affecting us at The Bug.  We are switching to a new register program and preparing our shop to go live on the internet!! YIKES!  The new register program requires us at The Bug to label each, yes I said EACH item with a tag…..just for a humorous thought…pearl cotton size 5 and 3, well there are over 10,000 skeins…over 10,000 tags and that is just PEARL.(are you laughing yet)  Well anyway change is good, not only will it make checking out faster, the program provides lots of perks for the customer like actual Bug gift/money cards that can be purchased and used like a credit card and the program also has a rewards system – meaning each time you purchase at The Bug you accumulate Bug Points that entitle you to a monetary discount!  There are other benefits* but I guess the true purpose of this post is to tell you  – It is customers like you that make doing business a real pleasure! – so thank you for all your patience during this transition!

Change is good!!

*Benefits of new program apply to in-store, phone/mail and internet customers!
