Everywhere you turn there’s something new to look at,
a unique kind of model. It might be traditional. Ch-
contemporary. Or country. Or something in between.
That’s because Nancy and her assistants, who all stitch
models for the store, have different tastes. So it all adds
up to . . . Pure cross stitch, made purely delightful, and
yet . . . The pleasantness of these ladies is so apparent
to customers that you might like what you sense as
much as what you see. When you walk in, you’ll notice
how customers respond to the workers. We overheard
one saying to a friend, "When I first moved to Rock
Hill, this was the place I came for encouragement and
relaxation. There’s always a smiling face."
And if you’re in a hurry and don’t have time to browse
and soak up the atmosphere, you’ll still love this place.
Trust us! It’s practical. Things are where you can see
them. Supplies are in abundance and organized in
categories. The 1000 plus titles are carefully displayed
for the customer who knows exactly what she wants.
Chartpacks, frames, accessories, quilt racks, afghans,
materials and floss all have special spaces. And there’s
a baby comer. And Christmas room. Every fabric you
can name is there. Every possible accessory for your
needling needs.
That about covers the subject, right? Not quite. One of
the best kept secrets in successful stitching is framing.
Stitch ‘n’ Frame’s last name - "Frame" - aptly describes
what you might call a "serious" framing department. We
think it’s second to none we’ve seen, and definitely
serious about meeting your needs. It’s motto - "you
stitch it ... we frame it" - means that Stitch *n’ Frame
tailors their frames to anything you want. No more
excuses now to put that unfinished symphony of yours
in the drawer. If there’s not a perfect frame for it.
Stitch ‘n’ Frame will help you design one that is
different, just for you! Nancy believes that the best way
to motivate customers to keep stitchin’ is a friendly
framing department.
"Stitch ‘n* Frame annually hosts a very popular event
called "Needlework Extravaganza". It’s a customer
showcase judged by customers. Gift certificates are
Another highlight is Monday night stitching circle, a
class offered by the shop. Students say it provides
friendship and comaraderie as well as new ideas and
