LNS in Mesa, AZ?

My SIL called me this week to ask for help doing an XS project that she and our MIL found in the closet. MIL doesn't see well enough to show SIL how to do it. Since there was no way I could do it over the phone - she couldn't figure out, even with the directions, how to get from the chart to the fabric. I emailed Family Arts in Phoenix to ask if they have any stamped XS or any kind of stamped embroidery (that's what she did growing up) and they said that there is a XS shop in Mesa. I don't want to bug them again but was hoping someone in that area might know of a place where she could go for help. I already emailed SIL with the contact info for her local EGA chapter but don't know if she'll go. I'm pretty sure she'll end up going back to stamped embroidery but I thought someone at a LNS might be able to get her started with XS more easily than I could do it over the phone. :-) Even if she has to buy a small project to start with, I think she could afford that much. Thanks. Liz from Humbug

This is what I have gleaned over the years for Arizona

You may want to call and see if they are still in business. Too many LNS's are going broke, or just online.

Gillian posted about Attic Needlework in Mesa. It *is* a lovely store but I have never found the people who work there to be very friendly or helpful. Last time I was there, they were still VERY big into antique and reproduction samplers. I don't do those sorts of samplers and got the distinct feeling that if you didn't do that sort of work, then you weren't as important as someone who did! Of course, they might be just as nice as can be when dealing with someone who doesn't have experience or any particular sort of preference! CiaoMeow >^;;^<
