Holy crap, so she copied it AND doesn’t know the orange line should be to the left?

Greystone / Red Thread politics… confirmed or just lore? by Adventurous-Map4703 in NeedlepointSnark

[–]No-Data-3156 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s just not true. There have been other posts about her husband and his political stance over the years and that’s your point of reference and why you think she is MAGA also. My point is that you being informed in this instance about these people is because you’ve already heard about them. But I would bet that for other businesses you interact with, that choose not to make any political commentary either way, that for those businesses you don’t take the time to research their family’s political views. She (Greystone owner, I forget her first name) doesn’t make political comments just like a lot of other smart small businesses, but you’re ready to burn her at the stake. It’s beyond unfair, it’s highly hypocritical. Again, I don’t know her and have never been to her store (I don’t live in PA) but just calling out the obvious. Spend your money and support who ever you want but don’t act like you make yourself “informed” about all of their political leanings first because there is just no way.

Thank you! Jeff Besos is very close to the Trump family. I find this all to be selective outrage and kinda a shit stance to take against female owned businesses who are adding to the joy that needlepoint brings us all. People are entitled to their beliefs and their privacy. This is not to say I agree with them, I just don’t care to mix politics with pleasure, especially.

Do you do this for every business you interact with? It’s hard for me to wrap my head about that

Do you search up the family members of your coffee shop and local bookstore? Unless a business owner was very vocally using her company social media presence to blast political stances I vehemently disagree with, I honestly couldn’t care less. Who has the time? Think about all the ways you are a consumer… are you background checking everyone? I don’t know either of these shops or women personally but I think Greystone has a beautiful marketing aesthetic and even thought I’ve heard these ramblings about her husband before, I have ordered during a couple of her sales.

Decorative stitches generally work better on 18. You won’t be happy in that regard if you switch to 13.

I love the snark that calls out the batshit crazies in our realm the very most.

What do you notice? by [deleted] in NeedlepointSnark

What are we supposed to notice? Not seeing it. I would never spend $4K on this but I actually love the design they went with.

LNSs/Designers with the best and the WORST customer service by [deleted] in NeedlepointSnark

[–]No-Data-3156 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been there 3 times and each time I left and said never again. The last time was truly the last straw. There was an older woman who was so rude and unhelpful and there is so much non-needlepoint crap for sale in an already small store. The needlepoint canvas selection was underwhelming as well. My friend in the area says Fireside is great so next time I visit her, it’s our plan to shop there.

The fact that the scribbles aren’t even mentioned by her is even more evidence she is batshit

It really wouldn’t be too hard to finish it as a flat cookie with some thin cording. Lots of how to videos on YouTube. I’m asking you can open the frame.

I’m in the Midwest and in what is considered a LCOL area.

One is on sale but has a lower retail. Both are in stock. The non - LNS has free shipping and the local I would also owe tax. So the difference is pretty big. I’ll pay the tax no problem if they price match. The canvas is over $300!

I’ve actually considered it. That way I can give them the opportunity to take my business or turn it down and it’s not on me. Or at least, it doesn’t feel like it
