The SYHO kickoff begins November 1st....Don't miss it!


The Stitch Your Heart Out (SYHO) Campaign was created to excite stitchers with a new and fun project, create an interest in stitching for non-stitchers and introduce stitching to the next generation while promoting heart health.




STITCHERS
Introducing the SYHO designer encyclopedia: join in on the fun! SYHO has created a one of a kind stitching experience that will last an entire year! Starting in February 2010, the first Friday of every month for 12 months a new design will be released by industry leading designers, with great interviews, interactive games, fun LNS stitch nights, prizes, heart healthy recipes and much much more! Once you have stitched all 12 designs, you will receive FREE instructions on how to assemble the 12 designs into a stitched designer encyclopedia. Be sure to check out the SYHO blog for more information about our participating designers: Glendon Place, Rosewood Manor, Blue Ribbon Designs, La D Da, Trail Creek Farm, Ink Circles, Homespun Elegance, Monsterbubbles, CherryWood Designs, Designs By Lisa, Myrtle Grace Motifs and …we can’t tell you everything yet…(:




NON-STITCHERS
Have a hard time showing your friends all that stitching has to offer? With so many different projects how can you possibly help a non-stitching friend find a project to fit their taste? Not a problem! Loose Thread Stitchers is proud to introduce the ABC’s of Cross Stitch Coffee Table Book. This book is filled from A to Z with stunning photos of projects and supplies that will catch the attention and spark an interest in even the hardest to please non-stitcher. Don’t worry! Stitchers can use it too! The book also doubles as an autograph book. Now you can bring your book on retreats and at tradeshows to collect all 26 signatures. Be sure to check out the SYHO blog for more info about the 26 participating needlework companies (Just Another Button Company, Weeks Dye Works, With my Needle, Jeanette Douglas Designs, Fancyworks, It’s Finally Finished, Funk and Weber Designs…just to name a few) and find out how you can win the designs and products featured in the SYHO ABC book.



THE NEXT GENERATION
