Cecilia's Samplers — Local services in Branson

Went in to get some help/advice for a punch needle project. I was very disappointed!! They sell punch needle kits, I believe. But, sadly the ladies seemed totally unknowledgeable. They only offered me a kind of fabric with wouldn't take yarn. I will say though, at least the youngest lady working there offered me a smile. The other two, not once.

Great selection and always changing and a very helpful staff. I always visit when in Branson and look forward to seeing all their great variety of inventory. On my recent visit they didn’t have a newly released pattern I wanted. I paid for it and they sent it to me. Today I received it in the mail beautiful wrapped and with a piece of cardboard so it wouldn’t get bent in the mail. I was so worried it would be bent but they put extra effort into the order and made sure it would be perfect. Just another reason I like shopping with them. Thank you for caring about...
