Welcome Stitchery Newsletter, May 2026 draft

  1.  

 

Welcome!

Welcome to the newest edition of Welcome Stitchery's newsletter. It's really starting to feel like Spring in Minnesota, with leaves turning green and the daffidils and tulips comming up.  In this newsletter we share information about upcoming events, shop news, and new inventory. 

As always, you can shop at our store in Blue Earth, MN or online at welcomestitchery.com 

Did you know? We are more than happy to kit up projects for you! Contact us via email or place an order online to get started. 

We continue making updates to our online store and the inventory of Rainbow Gallery threads is close to complete now. This process takes a little time and we are slowly adding pictures as well. We hope this helps you choose and order the best floss for your projects! 

As everything gets more expensive, we've had to increase our shipping fee for online orders, which we haven't done in a while! Our new shipping fee is $6.50 and for orders over $125, the shipping is free. This was a very hard decision for us, but we know you understand that for our small shop, online orders are important to us and we need to keep the fee sustainable for us as well as you!
