It is hard to maintain a small cross-stitch shop nowadays with most competition coming from websites with extremely low overhead. However, Lazy Daisy is an oasis for stitchers and I can’t be happier I found it. Diana, the owner, is helpful and very knowledgeable about designers, cloth and threads. While the shop is small, she can order anything you need — any patterns from ages ago and her selection of specialty threads is quite good. She even frames finished pieces, which is great. «Open» stitch night on the 3rd Thursday is awesome and a great way to make new friends and spend quality time stitching on any of your personal projects. Diana also hosts stitch classes usually held on Saturday mornings. I especially love going to Lazy Daisy, because it is so awesome to see all her finished pieces on the walls — Diana and her MIL stitched all of them — numbering in the hundreds. Outstanding service, quality products. Cute store. Can’t recommend it enough.

I have only been to this shop once but I got a really good vibe while I was there. I have a friend who is a big fan and she was eager to take me for a visit. It is medium size shop but was really hopping when we went. Well stocked crossing stitching shop and a nice fabric selection. I found some charts I was looking for and picked up a few pieces of fabric. The store owner and employees were very nice and friendly even though they were super busy. It was really nice to see a LNS with so many shoppers in it.
