I'm sure the following
will come as no surprise to many of you. These economic times are difficult.
For everyone. Businesses are certainly no exception.
Unfortunately, it is no longer possible for me to spend the time required
to produce the quality needlework designs you have come to expect. Nor
is it feasible any longer to keep my already-published designs in print.
Effective immediately: TW Designworks is no longer offering print needlework
patterns.
Please know that this has been a difficult decision... wrenching in fact,
but one that had to be made. I've made every effort over the last several
years to keep the print business viable, but to no avail. The time has
come for me to say farewell to full-time needlework design.
TW Designworks patterns will continue to be available via PatternsOnLine.com.
Please note that this announcement does not affect designs still owned/published
by Leisure Arts: those designs are still controlled by LA.
The needlework portion of the TWDesignworks.com website will remain intact
and I will do my best to keep the information available to stitchers for
as long as possible. The Art portion of the site, however, has been closed.
The TWBB will also remain available to stitchers seeking help with my
designs, and of course, I will still be available to answer questions
via e-mail, or snail mail. Please note that the business phone/fax number
is no longer in service.
I'm not at all sure what I'll be doing next. Life has a way of being (maddeningly)
unpredictable... but whatever the future has in store, I will be ready
to give it my best effort.
I plan to continue blogging, so if you are interested in seeing what I'm
up to (creatively), please stop by!
In closing, I want to thank each and every one of you who have supported
my designing efforts through the years: distributors, shops, and especially
individual stitchers. You have by turns challenged, inspired, amazed and
delighted me. Thank you so much; it has been a true honor!
TW
Designworks is closing.
Please read the announcement to the left.
The
TW Lists have a new home!
At long last, The TW Lists (Main Checklist, Errata Listing, and
Magazine/Book Listing) which have been hosted off-site are now located
here on the TW Designworks website. Also, links to Floss Lists have
been added to each design's description page. Thanks for your patience!
Please patronize your local needlework
shops! If unavailable locally, designs are also available on-line
and off-line
from many fine retailers.
TW
Designworksdoes not sell needlework designs direct to the
public. My designs are available only in needlework shops both on-line
and off-line, and via PatternsOnLine.com.
Any
feedback you have regarding the design of this page or the information
within it should be sent to Teresa at tlw@microserve.net.
