Attic Needlework and Collectibles has a new home!

One of our favorite shops (Attic Needlework and Collectibles) and one of our favorite designers (Milady's Needle) have joined forces this week to take us back to Norfolk for a moment!  You'll recognize M. Wood if you have read Joanne Lukacher's wonderful book Imitation and Design: The Norfolk Sampler Tradition.  Featured on page 113!  

Detail from M. Woods

We can attest that having your sampler chosen as the Attic's Sampler of the Month is a thrill - when our "In the Norfolk Tradition" was chosen for January, we were so excited!  And when we traveled to Arizona to spend a weekend with Jean, Joanne and a multitude of other teachers, lecturers and aficionados, we got to enjoy that thrill to the hilt!

While there, Gloria Moore, of Milady's Needle showed us M. Wood in person - she is so dainty and so lovely - no picture can do her justice!  But now to see in the latest Attic Newsletter, that M. Wood is the June Sampler of the Month!  I'm sure Gloria is pleased, and so are we to see that this lovely reproduction is ready to stitch (on lovely Lakeside Linens fabric with Gloriana Tudor Silks!)  

Rush over to The Attic's site and read the latest newsletter - you'll be so glad you did!
