Welcome to Needlepoint of La Jolla  

                 

 

    This new location is approximately two miles from our last place of business.  Come see how we are growing, and meet my newest partner Bill Price, my best friend and husband. We were married on New Year's Day, 2006 at a pretty park overlooking a beach in La Jolla. We will always have fireworks, champagne, and the next day off on our special day every year.

    Carrell has joined the 'fun' retirement set...lunches, ANG meetings with friends, and enjoying her pet pooch TeddyBear, a mix of Yorkie, Lhasa, and Poo.  Teddy is nine years old now, about ten pounds, and is a kissing-cuddler.  Carrell is delighted, and so is Ted.  We rescued him in May 2006...we found him on the internet site, Petfinder.com, and after qualifying to adopt him, we did. 

    I have sad news of Annie our Schnauzer.  After nine years with us, and fourteen years of living a great dog's life, Annie is now with our first shop-dog Spencer.  If you ever met Annie, you may have heard that she barked in a wisper.  I bet she's running free with Spencer, barking at birds and squirrels, and eating whatever she wants.  We will miss Annie, but we have Needlepoint designs with her likeness throughout the store, and we'll never forget her gentleness.

    Carol Courington became part of our Needlepoint Family the Spring of 2008.  Carol brings to our shop her talents for smart stitching.  Carol can help you increase your desire to learn decorative stitching and guide you with detailed suggestions.  Her desire to teach and share her skills, combined with her quick wit, will keep you coming back. Visit with Carol on her scheduled days of Tuesdays and Thursdays.

    We will be glad to direct you to our place when you call us at 858-454-0082 or 800-531-9811.  We have found  MapQuest or Google on the internet to be valuable.  See you soon.  

Michelle, Bill, Carrell, and Carol
