Aloha All,

I have to tell you that my trip to Las Vegas was fabulous! My brothers wedding was a success, and I managed to go to a Needlepoint store, surprise, surprise 😉 Since I did go to the Golden Needlepoint store I am going to give you a tour in photographs. Originally I was also going to post a new stitch, but I have so many photographs that I will leave the stitch for later in the week.

The owner of Golden Needlepoint is a lovely lady named Judy Fenner. She opened the store approximately one year ago when she saw a need for a needlepoint store in the area. The store is close enough to the strip that a short taxi ride will get you there. Judy operates the business by herself and has done a spectacular job. When you enter the store the walls are filled with canvases. There are several rooms so take your time as it is a lot to take in. The thread room is in the process of being moved to a room by the entrance since it has wonderful lighting. Canvases are taken in on consignment if you want to downsize your collection. Theresa Lee of “Lee” designs is slowly bringing in original canvases that Colonial Needle did not purchase the rights to. Currently there is a table full of Lee canvases! You could easily spend a whole day going through each room and finding treasures, the inventory is tremendous. I really enjoyed talking to Judy and taking in the store. Of course I did not have a whole day just a few hours, but when in the area I will definitely go back to the store.

In addition to owning and running the store, Judy operates an animal rescue. One room in the store is dedicated to cat rescues. It is of course closed off to the store but Judy can pop in and see the animals and you can also take a peek through the windows 🙂 Cats outdoors in Las Vegas don’t survive more than 2 months as the elements and coyotes are against them. More coyotes to be honest.

Golden Needlepoint is located at 4855 W.Desert Inn Rd, #101, Las Vegas, NV; phone 702-362-6252, email: goldenneedlepoint@sheenasstitches.com . You are very lucky to have this store if you live in the area, but the rest of us can visit the Web store or eBay store : golden_jam . So go grab a coffee or cup of tea, sit back and relax, and take a virtual tour of the store. If you see a canvas you would like, call, email or go to Golden Needlepoint website at, http://goldenneedlepoint.com . For those who like to pay with PayPal, this option is available.
