Discover Cross Stitch with Linda Tallitsch
Developed for stitchery lovers everywhere, Linda Tallitsch shares her knowledge, tips, advice, and helpful hints on everything to do with stichery!
Moving & Growing
In 2004, when owner Linda Tallitsch decided to open her specialty shop, she visualized a shop with not only the basic supplies needed by cross stitchers, but also different and unique designers and designer items. That is how our boutique concept was born.
After 2 years River Bend Stitchery outgrew the downtown Vermilion location. The new location is at 15008 Holiday Drive, Suite C. It is south of downtown Vermilion and Rt.2. Exit Rt.2 at Rt.60 and go south. Immediately you will see the Vermilion Holiday Inn Express. Turn onto Holiday Drive (as if you are going to the Holiday Inn Express), and you will see a small office building just to the west of the inn.
Satelite Store
River Bend Stitchery is now offering our unique inventory of patterns, hand-dyed fabrics and specialty items as well as basic fabrics and DMC threads at Sew Little Time, Ltd, a quilting supply store in downtown Norwalk, Ohio. Sew Little Time has told us of the huge demand for cross stitch supplies in the Norwalk area, a city about 25 minutes south of Vermilion, our home location.
Sew Little Time, Ltd is located at 34 E. Main Street, Norwalk, OH 44857. Their phone number is 419-660-0200 and website is www.sew-little-time.com.
We're excited about this new venture, and look forward to serving the cross stitch needs of those in the Norwalk area soon!
