Yep, their parent company, Wilton Products (of cake decorating fame) announced that the Dimensions plant in Pennsylvania will close by the end of 2009.

See - http://wfmz.com/view/?id=661113

There's nothing on the Dimensions Crafts website - although I would note that the company doesn't ship outside the U.S.A..

If you fancy a Dimensions cross-stitch or needlepoint kit, I'd recommend getting your hands on it ASAP. I know that I will be doing so!

Hello fellow stitchers! Its been awhile since we've exchanged anything... anyone still around?
Anyway, its been ages since I've done a round robin and I'd really like to get one together. Anyone interested? Theme? Ideas? Etc?

Hello, thought I'd say hello and introduce myself.. I'm a cross stitch designer but love meeting other cross stitchers - hope we can get to know each other well! what designs are you all working on right now?
 

Hi,

I forgot to post when I received my exchange!  I received my exchange piece on Monday and the pin cushion!  I love it, as well as the threads.  I am tryinh to figure out what I am going to use them for.....and the fabric too.

Thanks Again!

I finally got a decent picture of the piece that Deborah (violet1949) sent me.




Isn't it great? I love Shepherd's Bush. And her sewing is perfect. Thank you so much Deborah!

As an aside - there are still three pieces not received. I will follow up with those people (again) tomorrow. If you have mailed or received but have not let me know, please do so. :)

Cheers,
Shelley

Hello, all,

I just wanted to let everybody know that we still have five pieces not received. At least there has been no post here and I have not gotten any e-mail regarding them. Of those, two have been mailed. They are traveling overseas, so a little more time should be allowed. On one, the piece will be mailed Wednesday. I have e-mailed the final two stitchers for an update. One is out of town until July 24th. I've also sent e-mail to those who haven't received their pieces.

If you DO receive your piece, please be sure to post to the group.

Everybody has been doing such amazing pieces!

Thanks,
Shelley

Okay, so something I did was wrong... sorry about that... the pic should be under a cut :)

klawdine_1975's Peacock needle roll.... I loved stitching this up!!

[Unknown LJ tag]

I wanted to say THANK YOU for the awesome peacock needle roll from Shell dragonsflame71. I absolutely love it, as the peacock is one of my totem birds.

Thanks for the goodies, too! Very thoughtful of you.

Shell, let me know if you need me to post a pic. I can do it, if you would like.

Thanks.

I was away on travel last week and so I missed the delivery of my package from spy_isis. My husband told me there was a package from drugstore.com that came in and I was wracking my brain to figure out when I got stuff from them ;-). As soon as I saw the package though I knew that it was the exchange _and_ I got to open it on my birthday :-D. ( click for pic )

I am so sorry I have been away. Some unavoidable things came up around here. I will update all information I've received on the exchange thus far and post an update on Monday. If you have not contacted me or posted to the group when you sent and/or received, please do e-mail me at leanan . stitches @ gmail . com (remove spaces) Thank you all for your patience. For all those who have posted pictures - thank you!

Whoever is kohakushinju's partner. I have not received my exchange. Please email me and let me know if it has been sent. Thanks.

I was so excited to open my mail last night and find my surprises from arlandria83. I love the kitties and completely adore the little dragon kit!

I got a wonderful surprise in the mail today( cuteness ) Thank you Paige (I'm not sure what your lj name is) I just love it! Sorry the picture is terrible.

The exchange was a lot of fun! Deborah has received the project I made her for the seasonal exchange, so I aam posting a pic of it!( Read more... )

I got it!  Well, them.  
maid_in_bedlamsent me two things.  She said she couldn't decide which to do so she did them both!  A Stonehenge bookmark and a Sun ornament with daisy fabric on the back and major beading on the front.  Daisies are my favorite flowers, by the way.  They're both so beautiful I can't stop looking at them.

Let me know if you want me to take pics, or if you did before you sent them.

I just wanted to remind everybody that the mailing due date for the Seasonal exchange is one week from today - July 7. Please send me an e-mail or a message via LJ when you mail your package. Also, if you are having any problems, please let me know right away so we can work things out. I hope you're all having a good time stitching! :)

Here in Yorkshire it's currently cold, grey, windy and threatening to pour with rain at any moment. However, my summery mood has been restored by the arrival of a package from karmic_sinkhole ...
