*** NEW COMPLIMENTARY CHART ***
Homegrown Chart

August 29, 2005 - the day New Orleans was devastated by Hurricane Katrina. A day that forever changed the lives of everyone living in metropolitan New Orleans. We continue to live through the ups and downs of reconstruction and seeming lack of forward momentum knowing that only if we persevere can we rebuild the city we love. Through all of this we struggle to keep our psyches firmly anchored on the positive. That is the Spirit of New Orleans --- the Spirit of the average working class Jacques' who make New Orleans the city that you fall in love with when you visit. They put on hip boots (or white shrimp boots if dey from da parish) and push ahead, always surmounting the obstacles that nature sets in their path. We welcome you to our city with open arms and hope that you are really hungry, because as we do so well, we will feed you until you burst.

Our city is still as multi-cultured as ever and our charts represent that culture. You will find a large selection of charts related to food because in New Orleans we live to eat. When we're not eating, we're talking about where to eat, what we've eaten lately and where we'll be eating next week!

Charts are divided into categories which can be accessed on the Catalog page link on the sidebar. To order an item, click on the photo and when the description comes up, simply click the top: Add to cart. When you are ready to checkout click the lower: Checkout.

We invite you to visit our city on February 24, 2009 for Mardi Gras. Although New Orleans may not have first created Mardi Gras, we sure did a good job of perfecting it from a single day into an entire season.

We also invite you to join us for Camp Stitch-Away on June 19-22, 2008. Camp is a 3 day get-away for Ladies. We stay in the heart of the Garden District, on the Loyola grounds, across from Tulane University and blocks from Audubon Park and stitch our hearts away for 3 glorious days. No pressure, no chores, no makeup! Just stitching and interacting with new found stitching friends. You can access an application form by clicking on the Camp Stitch-Away button at left.

On October 23-27, 2008 we invite you to throw away your cares and come sail and stitch with us. On October 19, 2007 seventeen stitchers boarded Carnival's Fantasy on our first ever Accents Aweigh Stitching Cruise. We had a fantastic trip and are cruising again this year. Non-stitching guests are welcome to tag along. Click the Accents Aweigh link at left for the 2008 information. Call Gayle at (504) 888-2458 if you have any unanswered questions.
