All
About Pocket Full of Stitches...
Pocket
Full of Stitches came into being in September 1983,almost in the blink of an
eye. Rhea and Nancy, sisters-in-law, were talking about not being able to find the
variety of needlework they wanted to do. Rhea's kids were in school all day and
Nancy, a newlywed had just moved back to Lubbock. So, they decided to open a shop
filled with the stitching that they loved.
A TNNA
market was being held in Dallas two weeks later. They got very busy, found a store
front (when a leasing agent asked about their prior experience - Rhea popped off,
"We
like to shop!"), secured a tax # and left for market. And here they are
24 years later - still stitching and having fun.! |
FYI
We often refer to Pocket Full of
Stitches as PFOS. This is a word!! At
least here it is. It is
pronounced:
p-foss
Just in case you wondered!! |

All About
Lubbock . . .
| Pocket Full of Stitches
welcomes you to Lubbock!! - home of Texas Tech University (Go Red Raiders!), the
prairie dog, and Buddy Holly! We are on the southern part of the Great Plains, known
as the South Plains or the lower panhandle of Texas. Our community is a crossroads
for travel in West Texas. Lubbock has

area. Producing 20 percent of the nation's cotton, Lubbock also has award winning
wineries. Agriculture, education, medicine and technology make Lubbock a thriving

Lubbock is also known for the friendliness
of our citizens. You cannot find nicer people anywhere. People speak to others on the
street, are courteous and helpful. Folks smile around here! We practice this
attitude at Pocket Full of Stitches and you will not find a
friendlier, more knowledgeable staff anywhere. Perhaps this attitude exists because
we are all stitch-addicted and want to share our love of needlework! |
