Announcing 2009's Secret Needle Nights!

We're working on our 2009 monthly mini-kits -- our Secret Needle Nights. Silver Needle Exclusive designs -- this year's are going to follow a theme of various, 'specialty' houses, and little shop windows! We're following the seasons and holidays -- like we always have -- and have lots of designs in the works already! (Think about it... Cupid can own a chocolate shop, Uncle Sam might live in a firecracker house, Halloween is always good for haunted house, and we might throw in a beach cabana somewhere!) Brooke Nolan, Mona and I work on SNN all year long... (gives us lots of time and chances to change our minds!!!)

Secret Needle Night Kits are always small, worked on 10ct fabric... and contain specialty threads and fun embellishments. Always a secret till they are released the first Wednesday of the month, they are complete kits. We offer Mona's awesome finishing kits each month, too, ... in case you want the materials to assemble yours just like ours! Compared to other kits on the market right now, our creations are really a good value... they're fun, different, ready-to-stitch, and pretty darn CUTE! Made with lots of love from the Silver Needle Gals!

Kits run $15.50 each, plus $2.00 shipping each month. You can reserve specific months ahead of time... or just automatically subscribe, and your mailbox will be treated to a new kit each month! Mona's finishing kits are offered the same way. We charge your credit card each month, at time of mailing.


RETIRED Bring Your Own Broom, September 2007 Secret Needle Night from The Silver Needle Secret Needle Night Kits are Silver Needle Exclusives! We dream them up every month... offer them only one time... make just enough kits... and then they're gone forever... just like the Cadbury Eggs!

We create a delightful little design each month... something seasonal, or applicable to the current holiday... our own designs... put them on 10ct fabrics, use cool specialty threads and neat embellishments... and kit them up! Then, we mail them every month, right to your mailbox... so it, along with your stitching fingers, are so happy!!!

Every month, we bring you something fun that stitches up in 4 or 5 hours, always on the large fabric, always with the cool threads, always featuring cute embellishments. We keep the current month's design a secret, till it's released -- hence the name. There's even a recipe included each month, so if you're getting together with friends to stitch... you have a snack to make! We keep each design a month ahead of the event -- so Sept is a Halloween theme, Oct is Thanksgiving. We always do 'Christmas in July... you get the idea.

RETIRED Ho Ho Santa, July 2007 Secret Needle Night from The Silver Needle Just something fun for your mailbox, and stitching bag... these are great to save for traveling, because everything is there... and easy to see! Our Mona of Magic By Mona provides finishing kits each month to make yours just like our model -- same fabrics, trims, and everything!

***** We've decided that Secret Needle Nights are actually the result of the talents of a team of ladies... not just one of us! Just like all those house Re-Do shows on TV, everybody does something different, and together, we make it all work! Mona, Lindy and Brooke dream up the ideas... Brooke interprets them into charts for us... Mona and Lindy choose threads... Mona stitches and finishes... we have a couple of ladies (and Mona's son!) who assemble your thread bundles every month... Cindy always packs your embellishments, Kim always cuts your fabric... Mary is the photographer and paper-work designer... Lindy writes the dittys, orders everything, and coordinates the monthly process. The Shop Gals on the Saturday preceding SNN assemble the kits! And... Mona's husband cuts all the boards that magically appear in your finishing kits! Whew... we are a HUGE team! Thought you'd enjoy knowing that!

RETIRED Give Thanks, October 2008 Secret Needle Night There are two ways to get Secret Needle Nights. You can try a 'One Time Try', a sample kit, if you will, to see what they really are like, or you can subscribe to them on a monthly basis. You can always pick and choose which months you think you're going to want, but it's Murphy's Law that whatever month you pass on will be your favorite. So... we suggest that auto-ship thing, it's just the best!

The following pics include the current month's release, as well as kits from months past. We have our previous 2-plus years on page one, and have archived some of the older ones on SNN Page 2. We've been doing these monthly kits for almost 10 years now; we can't believe it! If you come visit the shop... ask to see the Wall of Fame! We have EVERY SINGLE SNN model we've ever done... all hanging neatly on the wall in our little memorial corner!

DATES:    The first Wednesday of each month.

PROJECT:    It’s a secret!
(That’s why we call it Secret Needle Night!)

COST:    $15.50
FINISHING KITS:    $27.00
