                   THE NEEDLEWORK NUTSHELL

                  There's something new at
                    FUNK & WEBER DESIGNS





Hello, Nuts! 

I've been promising (threatening?) change to the Nutshell 
for . . . oh, probably a year or so. Well, guess what. Here 
it is! 

I will continue to create the content that you are 
accustomed to receiving in these long monthly missives, but 
I will post it on the Funk & Weber website in smaller, more 
frequent increments, sending you alerts and links to the 
articles and tutorials in this Nutshell. In other words, the 
Needlework Nutshell will be just that: info "in a 
nutshell." (Read: brief.)  

This paragraph was where I explained my tentative plan for 
rolling out content, but that went right out the 
window--even before this letter was finished! I've deleted 
the whole paragraph except for this last sentence: We'll 
see how things really shake out in the end. Yes, I guess we 
will. 

In addition, you Nuts will be privvy to exclusive discount 
codes, chances to participate in first-run classes and 
special events, and you'll get dibs on limited-quantity 
goods when we acquire or create them. You are, after all, my 
go-to group, and you will remain so. My appreciation for 
your inspiration and support will never change. Keep those 
questions, ideas, and emails coming! 

Many thanks to those of you who have honestly and delicately 
informed me that you don't have time to read the full 
Nutsletter. I understand, really I do. In truth, with the 
changes we've made to the Funk & Weber Designs business and 
website, this will work better for me, too. Besides, change 
keeps us on our toes and encourages invention. I look 
forward to this!

Free Pattern on the Website

Some of you have seen this pattern, maybe even stitched it. 
Now everyone will be able to find it because it's indexed 
on the HOW TO page. Have you seen the HOW TO page? Have I 
mentioned how much I love the new Funk & Weber website? 

Off you go now. Seriously, that's it. There's more at that 
link--click it. You'll be hearing from me again soon, I 
promise. There's stuff I'm dyeing to show you later this 
month.  

Typo? No, that's not a typo.

I know this is weird. It's weird for me, too. Deal with it!

Smiles and stitches,

Jen
