Finishing Deadlines

 

As you know, the finishing world continues to be completely overwhelmed. We are thrilled that so many of you are doing beautiful needlepoint, but getting the pieces finished in a timely manner is still a challenge. 

 We have many finishers who support us at The Canvasback, so we have a little more flexibility. However, because the volume of work required is so large, we are asking that Christmas pieces be submitted to us as soon as possible. 

 July 15 was the standard deadline for stockings.  Stockings CAN be accommodated after July 15, but there is an additional charge.

 The deadline for other pieces – ornaments, standups, pillows, eyeglass cases, etc. – that ARE NEEDED BEFORE DECEMBER 25. is September 1.

 Framing and belts can drift later, until October 1.

 Please do not wait until the last minute. We will always try to pull a rabbit out of the hat, but the stress can be unbearable. And we never want to disappoint anyone. Please finish your pieces and get them to us!
