As many of you know we were lucky enough to host a workshop with Louisa Harding a while back.  At the time I was not able to attend, but I was lucky enough to meet Louisa while at TNNA in Columbus a few weeks ago and she was just as lovely and gracious as you all said she was.   I also spent an afternoon this week with our rep, Jeff, from Euro Yarns who distributes her yarns to us here in the U.S. and we ooh’d and ahh’d over her products.

We carry several yarns in the store now and you can expect a few more lovely gems and color showing up in the coming weeks and months.   I asked Louisa if she might be able to give Seed Stitchers an update since her last visit to our store and she was kind enough to do so.

‘June 09

It is just 6 months since I visited at Seed Stitch Fine Yarns and it feels
so fresh in my memory, but yet so much has happened since…..

The Spring Summer 09 collections are in stores and the Fall Winter
collections are being ‘put to bed’, the final ‘tweeks’ being made before
sending the books to the printers. Soon to embark on the Spring Summer 2010 collection. I have lots of ideas swirling around in my head.

I have just returned from the US where I was showcasing the new fall
collection of books and yarns to retailers at TNNA, Courtney and Robbie came and introduced themselves. It was lovely to meet with them and know that Seed Stitch has such enthusiastic new owners. TNNA is a great opportunity for me to talk to those working with my collections day by day, giving me feedback and passing on customer comments.

As you know Designers work in isolation for most of the time so all comments are greatly appreciated. Now looking forward toSping Summer 2010 I have many ideas buzzing and fluttering around that it is like sitting in the garden watching the bees and butterfly’s, I just need to catch them and get them down on paper before the summer rushes past to fast, especially with the children soon on holiday.

Now, back to ‘tweeking’ the fall books, I had so much fun working with the new yarns, the designs and photography, enjoy the summer and watch this
space..’

Kind regards
Louisa

P.S. I swear that I didn’t put Louisa up to saying such nice things about Robbie and me. I’ll update the blog again soon with more insight and tid bits about the new Louisa books and yarns as we get closer to getting them in the store.
