Floss Club Updates

We are quickly approaching the end of the year....how fast this year has gone by.......and if you joined the floss club in January then December will be your last shipment unless you renew. I am doing the floss clubs (Limited and Primitive Limited Editions) through June of 2018. I may decide to continue it through until December of 2018, we will see how it goes. It is fun dyeing new colors each month. The only challenge has been coming up with 24 new names each month!
My work load was greatly reduced with my 3 elves carding floss for me.....I could not do all of this without them! They were truly Heaven sent.

If you need to change your subscription, please let me know as soon as possible. A big thank you to those of you who have renewed and to the new club members.

The Linen Club will continue until further notice. You can join any of the clubs at any time, month to month, or auto ship each month. Any size or count or mix it up.
nbelgian@aol.com.

All December shipments include a little gift from me for Christmas.

Be sure to stay tuned for the Twelve Days of Christmas. One of my favorite give-aways!

And last of all....be sure you have signed up for the pick a box give-away as the drawing will be on the 30th.

Thank you one and all for your continued support.

Happy Thanksgiving, we have a winner today!!



I want to wish everyone a very Happy Thanksgiving. A very special holiday if you are here in the states. I think all of us could have a special day each year to be thankful for all that we have.

I am thankful for all of you. Faithful Friends, followers, kindred spirits......who allow me to be a small part of your life and share what I have to offer. Friendship. Giving. Caring. My love of needlework and sharing floss, fabric, designs and trims.

I truly enjoy my give-aways as I get to share with many of you. I wish I could send everyone a present and if I live long enough then maybe...just maybe..... I will get to do just that.

Today we have a winner for the Be Ye Thankful give-away. Thank you to all who entered. The name drawn was Krissy B. Please send me an email with your address. I will also ask Krissy to tell me what count fabric she uses and what  box of 12 skeins of floss she would like from the many I have shown. The rest of the gift package will be a surprise that she will have to wait and see when she opens the box.

Be sure and stay tuned as we approach the Christmas season of giving. The Twelve Days of Christmas are always fun here at The Victorian Motto Sampler Shoppe. If you have been a follower over the years then you know what to expect. If you are new.....this will be special. The first 12 days of December I have a different give-away each day. Be sure to enter all of them and then I will begin to announce the winners on the 13th.

Have a wonderful holiday. We all have something to be thankful for......I have all of you!

It's A Wonderful Life movie tribute in stitches

It's A Wonderful Life is one of my favorite movies, especially at Christmas.
I was contacted by the gentleman who has a traveling museum about the movie and he attends showings at movie theatres across the country. He wanted me to chart the saying (and one of my favorites that I have used all my life)....All you can take with you is that which you've given away. He wanted it exactly as it is shown in the movie when George Bailey is in the Bailey Building and Loan and he is talking to his father. I only had a small photo to go from...a clip from the movie. I charted, stitched and framed the piece and donated it to the traveling museum. Then I was asked by the It's A Wonderful Life Museum in Seneca Falls to provide charts for them to sell in the gift shop. This is the theme they are going to focus on this year when they have their December celebration of the movie with original cast members. Three of the young children from the movie attend the yearly celebration in Seneca Falls.
I have named the chart The Gift. An enduring message and a good example of how to live......
I was also asked to duplicate the antique motto that is seen in one the scenes in the movie......The Lord Will Provide. The museum will also carry these motto kits for sale.
It was my pleasure to provide these items for the museum and as soon as they have the charts listed in the online gift shop I will show you the link if you would like to purchase one. The donation will help the museum keep this movie tradition going.

These are the fun parts of this business. Providing mottoes for all occasions.....to remember someone, a favorite family saying, etc. I have done quite a few custom mottoes in the past 13 years. I lost count after 200. Family names and favorite sayings were the most popular. A few cute ones.....a few silly ones that were given to make someone smile. Sad ones to remember a lost loved one. But all of them were important and it was my pleasure to be a part of them.

Thank you for stopping by. Have a wonderful day. It's A Wonderful Life!

All of the floss club and linen club invoices have gone out for today.
Please let me know if you did not receive your invoice as I know Paypal has messed that up a few times and I will resend your invoice if you did not receive it.

Change your club? It's never too late, just let me know. Need to add linen or floss? We can always do that before the shipping label is printed.

Have a great day and thank you to all of you who are in the clubs. It is a lot of work but a lot of fun sending out your goodies each month.
December shipments will all include a gift from me!
