This week, the “new” Needle ‘n Thread was launched, and the first week has slipped by very smoothly for the new website. I think it’s time for a housewarming party, and instead of you giving me gifts, I’m going to give you gifts – or at least, the opportunity to win a gift!
To celebrate the new Needle ‘n Thread, I’m giving away two gift certificates to Hedgehog Handworks!
Why gift certificates? I wanted to do something different with this give-away, because it’s a pretty special occasion for me. And I figured the give-away would be a win-win situation: I’d be able to have a party and give a gift, the winner would be able to anticipate the pleasure of new supplies, and the needlework shop would get some business.
Hedgehog Handworks has evolved into one of my favorite online embroidery shops, for a few reasons: 1. The stock – At Hedgehog, I always find the types of supplies I’m looking for, which are hard to find at most hand embroidery shops today; 2. The service is quick and friendly; 3. The prices are competitive.
I get my goldwork supplies at Hedgehog, for the most part.
She has the whole range of cotton floche.
She carries Fine D’Aubusson wool.
Renaissance Dyeing Wool? The whole range!
Want some Gilt Sylke Twist? She’s got all the colors, again at a competitive price.
On top of threads, she’s got great fabric for hand embroidery, a wonderful selection of needlework books, and she even has slate frames and good embroidery hoops! And if you’re looking for a particular something (certain needles, for example) that you don’t see on the website, you can always contact Hedgehog – they might have it in stock!
Pretty much, if you’re into hand embroidery and you’ve wanted to try some other supplies, you can find something enticing at Hedgehog.
So, to celebrate my new online home, I’m giving away two gift certificates to Hedgehog Handworks: one for $50 and one for $25.

Some information about shopping at Hedgehog Handworks: Joady will work with the winner on shipping. For lightweight items she’ll adjust the shipping that shows up on the order, so just contact her if you have shipping questions. She ships internationally and will let you know the shipping costs on your order. The gift certificate will cover shipping, as long as the total cost of the order (including shipping) is within the amount of the gift certificate. For international shipping, please read the Hedgehog Handworks shipping policies.
The fine print: This is not a paid promotion. I have no affiliation with Hedgehog Handworks. The gift certificates are paid for by Needle ‘n Thread. Needle ‘n Thread is in no way responsible for any part of any transaction after the gift certificates have been e-mailed to the winners.
