Best Needlework Shop Oakland Near Me

4worldlovers:
We are open for appointments, store pickup, phone orders & online orders. You can place an online order and note that you want Store Pickup if you do not want us to ship it. If you want to place an order over the phone or via e-mail, be sure to tell us you want store pickup and give us your contact information. We are available by phone, e-mail and for store pickup and appointments Tue-Sat 11-3pm.

In person store appointments are typically for an hour but can be longer. We try to keep it to a maximum of 4 people at a time. If you are immune compromised let us know that you want to ensure no one else is here aside from staff, during your appointment. If you are coughing or have cold symptoms, we requests you wear a mask, otherwise they are not required.

If you would like to make an appointment to visit in-person you can call us or e-mail us (please put Appointment in the subject line). E-mail works best for appointments not on the same day since we read that after store hours. If you are in the area and need to stop by, just give us a call and we can see what the schedule looks like. Most often we are able to accommodate drop in visits as long as we don't have a large group in the store. But an appointment are always the best option.


We appreciate your support and hope that you stay safe and healthy.


You'll find us at 2433 Mariner Square Loop, Suite 102, which is two blocks away from the Target store and Alameda Landing shopping center just off Webster. Please note, we are NOT in the shopping center, we are in a small office complex (Mash Mariner Square) at the corner of Mariner Square Loop, Marina Village Parkway and Mariner Square Drive (yes, it's a bit odd). Look for the stand of very tall redwood trees!


Join us to celebrate our 25th Anniversary with an amazing sampler from Hands Across The Sea Samplers - Sarah Rinder 1841. We are taking orders now for the chart, materials and threads. Those who order a full it of chart, threads and fabric before April 1st will also receive a special Miss Minnie McBean Fripperie that coordinates with the Sarah Rinder 1841. You can order the supplies through our online catalog. We have added stitched samples of the 4 types of thread options on each count we are offering so you can see what they look like when making your thread/fabric selections. Cathe as The Floss Queen, has also created 3 Frosted Teal acrylic accessories to coordinate with the birds in this design - a fob, needle minder and threadkeep.


We have created a Sarah Rinder 1841 Facebook group for our year long stitch-a-long, which you are invited to join. Cheri Cluff Edington has graciously agreed to lead Sarah's SAL for us. While at Jean Lea's Sampler Symposium in January, Cheri, Cathe and Nicola recorded a video with the model of Sarah Rinder 1841 discussing the design which is posted on our YouTube Channel.


The chart is an limited edition exclusive for NIAH and is only available from us. Thread choices are DMC, Soie d'alger, Soie 100/3 and Soie Surfine. Fabric choices are Lakeside Linen Vintage Maple Sugar and Legacy Linen in a variety of counts.


We are excited to release this amazing bird sampler, which is unlike anything we've seen. The main motif of the birds in the birdbath makes it seem like party time in the garden. We hope you'll enjoy stitching Sarah Rinder 1841 with us!


A lovely new sampler from Nicola at Hands Across The Sea Samplers - Hannah Campbell 1838. We are offering the chart, thread and fabric for Hannah and if you pre-order all of those supplies you will also received a free Miss Minnie McBean frippery (fob). The fob will be exclusive to the 5 shops sponsoring the SAL for Hannah.
