Greetings everyone,
Well, the sun is finally out in Des Moines-and for now the rain has stopped, and the city is recovering from flood damage. We did have some water problems, and it did delay us for several days, but we are okay now.
We are getting ready for the premiere market at St. Charles, MO and hope to see lots of you there. As one shop-owner told me, they attend all the markets as they get so excited and stimulated, which in turn they pass on to their customers, who in turn are enthused. They also find new things that aren't always advertised and get new ideas. For them, a market is a very positive event!
We will be bringing new designs and frames
including the new sled frame and the new Christmas frame with
the peppermint candy topper. We showed both of these frames at
the Nashville market in February. Other new frames will also
be on display.
This is a cash and carry market as well as an order market and
will offer both. We are bringing frames, but not as many as
we brought to Nashville, so come early. This is a great time
for this market as the holidays will soon be upon us. I'm sure
as shop-owners, you hear the refrain "what's new?"
all the time and in our industry, new ideas and new merchandise
are an absolute.
We have designed a new frame for Waxing Moon's Simply Halloween; call for a price quote. What a great design!
See you in St. Charles,
Joan,

Greetings everyone,
Finally we have had some days of wonderful weather and it is about time. We had such a terrible winter and now I can get out and dig in the dirt.
Just want you to know we will be attending the market in September at St. Charles, MO and am looking forward to seeing a lot of you. It will be a treat to have the market there as my daughter only lives about 45 minutes from there so I can see her at the same time. Please note, however, that we will not be in Columbus in June.
We have two new patterns coming out within a week or so - Buttoned Christmas which a lot of you saw a preview of in Nashville and those of you who ordered the pattern and frame there, will be the first ones shipped. The buttons will come with the pattern and you will have approximately 85 buttons to work with; they are very easy to sew on as they are red and green sewing buttons. It took me about 20 minutes to sew them on and I used approximately 75 buttons. The design is stitched on 25 count Navy Luguana. The specialty frame nicely enhances the pattern.
Sugar and Spice is also being released; he is a darling gingerbread man surrounded by other sweet treats and bright stars. This little man is stitched on 28 raw Opalescent Cashel so he really "sparkles". Naturally, it comes with a specialty frame
We will be releasing several more holiday designs in St. Charles and for sure the new sled frame you previewed in Nashville which so many of you preordered. If it is ready to go before St. Charles, it will be released to all of you who have preordered it.
Have a great summer and happy stitching.

We have some new Christmas patterns that will be coming out this summer is Buttoned Christmas ...one which you may have seen at the Nashville Market.
We will not be attending the TNNA market in June, but have decided to attend the market in St. Charles. Thanks to all who responded to our e-mail--your feedback was important in helping to decide.
We also have new frames for Waxing Moon's SIMPLY AMERICANA, SPRING WELCOME, and HAPPY AS A PIG..they are great patterns.
As always, we do appreciate your business and let us know if we can assist in any way.
Happy Stitching, Joan ....Poppy Kreation
I just want everyone to know that we
appreciate your business and some shops have been contacting
us about different shaped frames and if you have any suggestions,
just let us know.
