I hope all of you are well, and not being plagued by some of the terrible flooding and other disasters that seem to be happening all across the country! With so many friends spread out all over, when I watch the weather map, I wonder and worry if all of you are okay! I'd hate to think I just watched one of you being lifted off the roof of your house into a helicopter!
This, I hope, will be the last all-text newsletter. I'm working on setting up a new service where I can send you nicer-looking newsletters with pictures, etc. If any of you have trouble downloading the new newsletter let me know, and I'll send a text one to you!
What's New? So many great things! To keep this as brief as I can, I'm going to just get right into it and give you the links on the site! I've added so many things, and have so many more yet to add, that I hope you'll understand that all of them don't have pictures yet, but do have descriptions! If you have any questions, please write or give me a call! CSCibik@hotmail.com toll free: 877-889-7012
Or you can just write or give me a call anyway!)
First, Announcing the first book I've finally managed to put together! Evening Star Designs Blocks and Variations http://www.eveningstardesigns.citymax.com/page/page/4888358.htm While I don't have a picture yet, the book should be ready by Monday. It is a book on CD, and the description on the page should explain all about it!
New Fabric Packs! On the very good advice of Susan N. in S. Dakota (who I hope didn't get hit by any soft-ball sized hail yesterday!) I have created smaller Fabric packs that are more affordable $10.00 each, and come in a great variety of colors! Pearl, Jewel Tones, Ocean, Springtime, Autumn, Christmas and Victorian Christmas, and Customer's Choice! http://www.eveningstardesigns.citymax.com/page/page/4602052.htm
Not only that, but I'm also offering Fancy Fabric Packs- Plus! http://www.eveningstardesigns.citymax.com/catalog/item/4602052/4921569.htm Which will include the Fabric Pack, a Seed/Bugle Bead Sampler, A Sew-on Bead Sampler, and a small ESD Silkie! Like a small project kit for you to create!
In addition, I'm also offering one more step in this plan, the ESD Crazy Quilters Delight Package! http://www.eveningstardesigns.citymax.com/catalog/item/3364765/4921841.htm which includes all the things mentioned above, plus a hank of the wonderful Oliver Twists thread to match! Now that is a kit!
I've also added two thread samplers at a slight discount to the page! Thread Sampler one contains Stef Francis Fine Silk, Stef Francis 1800 Rayon, Stef Francis Metallic Chainette, Finca Pearl Cotton Size 8, Valdani Pearl Cotton size 12 and a skein of the Caron Collection's beautiful Waterlilies Hand-Dyed Silk Floss!

Don't get stuck just using DMC Floss on everything! Try one of our great Thread Samplers and experiment with some really wonderful new threads for Crazy Quilting and embroidery!
New! Venice Laces at great prices! I've added seven great new Venice Laces you've got to see, plus a great 12" sampler of one of each style! http://www.eveningstardesigns.citymax.com/page/page/4887244.htm
Goodie Bags! I've decided to put together some "goodie" bags for a great discount!(Read "Grab" bags) So far I've worked out two, and I'll add more as I go. http://www.eveningstardesigns.citymax.com/page/page/4888315.htm
Plus, one more very important thing! Carole Sample's Stitch Guides finally came in! I found one more Dream-a-Seam package (not sure how my inventory came up short!) still in stock, with more on the way! http://www.eveningstardesigns.citymax.com/page/page/4843399.htm
Also, just so you know, I've got in stock now, one small Artograph Light Tracer, One set of the Igolochkoy Punchneedles, plus two of the Sew-Safe locking Magnetic needle boxes. I'll try to keep at least one of them in stock all the time! I've sure been putting my Light- Tracer to work for me lately, and I'm sure you're probably tired of taping things to the window to trace them yourself! http://www.eveningstardesigns.citymax.com/page/page/4077034.htm
Coming soon! 12 new colors of Silk Dupioni! I have them all in stock, I've just got to get pictures up on the site! The colors are Straw (a very, very pale yellow, Paradise (a Light bluegreen), Pool ( a very cool irid blue w/gold that is hard to describe!) and Waterfall (another light green), Emerald, Cherry (which is about as close to Primary Red as I've seen!), Iridescent Dark Red, and Iridescent muted Dark Green - very nice! Plus, Royal Purple, an iridescent Wine color, Jungle, which is a nice dark teal green, and Ocean - a dark Royal or Cobalt type blue.
Keep your eyes on the site! I'm hoping to get pictures of some of these up very soon!
Best Wishes to all of you!
