Over the weekend we received an awesome product review by Maggie. This is what she said:

Product Name: Fray Check – 3/4 oz.
Product Code: 6622

Title: My Best Friend

Review: “I have used this product for years to seal the edges of my fabric, but today, just thought of a new use for it while working on one of Mirabilia’s mermaids… I put just a drop on the cut ends of my Kreinik braid, and lo and behold, no raveling, which can make these threads a nightmare to work with. I’ve tried it on all types of specialty threads, and it works wonders on all of them… even fuzzy threads, like Angora. It’s one of the best headache remedies ever!”

Maggie and three others also snagged themselves each a $5 coupon just for submitting their review on the weekend (read more about the Weekend Review Campaign). Congratulations to them, and thanks again to Maggie for her fantastic tip!

Our wall in the back sale room at Nordic is playing host to the winning designs and honorable mentions from the new 2010 Award Winning Designs in Hardanger book, and let me tell you, seeing them in person is unbelievable! The display will be up until the 17th… know what else is happening until the 17th? We are running a deal for you! When you purchase the new 2010 Award book, you have the option to receive the 2005 Award book FREE! Niiice.

One of my favorite designs from the new book is a totally awesome Norwegian theme table center that actually includes satin stitch Viking ships (amazing!), Stave churches and an excerpt from Norway’s national anthem: “Ya vi elsker dette landet” (“Yes, we love this land”)! The other designs are fantastic as well, but that one just took the cake for me. Get your copy today and check out these unique Hardanger creations for yourself!

We’re putting on our How Far will you Go? campaign again this summer! Yay!

If you’re planning a visit up to the north, detour on over to Fargo; we would love to be one of the stops you make! Spend a few minutes or stay all day. You will be glad you stopped by!

When you stop by, ask for a personal tour. Meet the folks who take and fill your phone order. You can go behind the scenes to see where kits are created and orders are packed for shipping. Be sure to sign our guest book and put a pin in our map to tell us where you are from. We love seeing how far everyone has come, and hearing stories about their hometowns and their trip. It is so exciting to know that stitchers from around the world are just as excited about meeting us and seeing the store as we are about meeting and showing them (or you!) around.

Have you been to our store already? Share your experience!
