We invite you to our newest shop classes and special events!
We're going to try to keep all of the special events -- like special sales and the shows and festivals we attend, here, too... calendar of events on top, classes listed together at the bottom.
We offer individual instruction in a small-group setting. Our goal is to help you learn a particular technique in class, so when you are back home, on your own, you'll be able to apply your classroom experiences, and create something beautiful!
All of our classes include any necessary materials for your project. You are encouraged to bring scissors, and any favorite stitching "stuff" you'd like. We offer a beautiful stitching area, complete with lighted magnifiers... and top quality scissors. Please enjoy 'trying out' our things during class... you might find something you can't live without!!!
Each of our teachers has been associated with The Silver Needle for over 10 years... and I am proud to have them represent us! They bring a wealth of knowledge and information to you... and I know you'll learn a lot from them! Enjoy your class!
For those of you who travel far enough to stay overnight, here is a pdf listing nearby hotels for you.

Introducing A Gingerbread Mouse House!
Presenting... our Weekend With Teresa Layman!!!
October 1st and 2nd, 2010
***Join us for Gingerbread and Lace!!!!!***
Join us to stitch and construct THIS little Gingerbread House!!! Teresa has sent us her class model to entice and inspire! YOU WILL go home with this darling cottage, after Teresa's lace presentation Friday evening and knotwork classes on Saturday morning. This Etui house features a pin-cushion roof (Teresa has handmade all of those for us already!) that lifts off to reveal the tiny 1-inch mouse living inside... he's included, and truly a hand-made miniature masterpiece! His arms and legs move, and his pajamas are precious!
 Teresa's original watercolor artwork of gingerbread men is highlighted against her custom-printed fabrics that cover this tiny turret. Elegant die-cut doors and windows, trimmed with antique lace... we'll be stitching the topiary trees and garland above the door, and putting the little house together.
***You will learn everything you ever wanted to know (Or Knot!) about French, Colonial and Bullion Knots. Instead of spending 4 hours in a class doing them repeatedly... you'll learn to conquer them QUICKLY, and Get On With Things! Stitch them on your custom printed gingerbread fabric, and then BUILD your mousie's dream house!!! (Complete with antique lace curtains!!!)
Our Gingerbread Mouse House measures 8 inches high and 3-1/2 inches in diameter. It is lined with berry red flannels, features a velvet base, and is large enough to hold several special pairs of scissors, your Santa Wish List, your Christmas gift $$ stash... or just that darling
little mouse!
 Class Space is Limited... as of Wednesday, June 2nd, we have 29 spaces left! Click the top image thumbnail for even more details... it is a PDF, so you can print it easily.
After you've conquered those knots... you'll have a better appreciation of all of Teresa's awesome miniature knotted rug designs we carry!
*KNOT to be missed... you'll be a KNOTTY Girl if you do!*

 Presenting a few of our pics and some musings about our Weekend with Barb
and Alma from Blackbird Designs!
Presenting a few of our pics and some musings about our Weekend with Barb and Alma from Blackbird Designs! The girls came July 16th and 17th, 2010... and enchanted our group with a special project, lots of stories, and lots of great ideas to make any of our needlework even more special than it already is.
Mary-the-webmaster has made little slide shows to go with my words... so click that middle arrow below the pictures to make the little shows begin... click the middle icon again to stop a picture... (She told me all of you would *know that*... but I didn't!!!)
Our weekend was lovely! Enjoy our pics!

 Silver Needle's *S.S. Alfredo* Mediterranean Cruise -- Summer 2010Silver Needle sponsored a lovely trip to Spain, Italy and France aboard Royal Caribbean's Voyager of the Seas, in June of 2010. We had a lovely time exploring Europe with our stitcher friends! Some husbands came along, but for the most part, our group consisted of ladies who all stitch together, or who met life-long friends now living miles away from each other.
Our trip was organized by a wonderful tour-lady -- Judy Bradford, of Expedia Cruiseship Centers -- who *does trips* with panache! Judy did all
the hard part -- all the flights, hotel bookings, transports -- all the yucky stuff. Silver Needle provided the stitching and the friendships! Spain, Italy and France all came through beautifully -- delivering us days and days of great shopping, perfect weather, awesome sightseeing, and lifelong memories!
I've chosen about 70 (of my 800-ish pics!) to share a bit of our trip with you. This was a challenge -- to pick JUST a few, not missing anything
really cool!!! So... lets see how I've done...
