Bush Mountain Stitchery Stop Number One

 

Bush Mountain Stitchery

 This was my first stop on my mini vacation last month.  The shop was a little bit away from the Mass Turnpike, but with my ace co-pilot Heather (Daughter#3) we were able to find it.  I only had to turn around once, but that is because I am very bad with following directions.

As you can see it is a beautiful home/store.  The store is round back, there is a ramp - no stairs, so all can arrive safely.
I spoke with the owner, Maeann Bush and she was just wonderful.  There were so many charts to choose from - great fabrics, all the threads, walls of silk threads.  I tried to take pictures inside but so many did not come out - UGH, I never can take great pictures.  This was a true Cross Stitch Shop - they do have Needlepoint also.
They also have an Online Shop - which is Linked above.

I stayed and browsed and chatted with Maeann about an hour too long, so I hit I-95 around Boston at rush hour - that was not pretty.  But it was worth it.  To the right are my purchases.  I was in a Halloween mood on this vacation, and expecting another grandchild, so I picked these two charts.   My daugher actually went and sat in the Truck to prompt me to get going. 

This was a great shop, with everything - everything you would ever need or want for stitching.  I will most likely stop in every time I get close.  

 

 

 

 

Stitching Updates

Update on One of my January Challenge Projects - Town of Halloween.  this is about 60% completed now, and it won't be hard to have this finished in time for Halloween.  I visited Salem Mass while I was on Vacation last week  - thought it was a good week to stitch some witches..

Bothy Threads Cut Thru - Monday Sal. 

It just so happens, Debbie is having a give away - she is giving away a chart Let's Do Coffee.
I have this chart already, it is one of my WIPS from the Crazy January Challenge.  This is a wonderful chart and I have not finished it yet, but it does stitch up quick.  I did visit two Needlework Shops on my Vacation.

And Battenkill Stitchery in Arlington Vermont.  Battenkill does not have a website.  They were very different, but both were wonderful.  The shop owners were there, and they are wonderful women.  I will compose a post soon with more details, and a couple of pictures.
