Plus, her trusty Singer workhorse sewing machine always delivers. When Joann's in Kingston, NY shut down, two of the longtime employees put their heads and hearts together and opened Frugal Fabrics on Ulster Avenue. This isn't your typical fabric store- big box or otherwise. What sets Frugal apart is that these ladies accept some fabrics as donations and sell. But don't mistake that for low quality. The fabric selection here is impressive AND affordable. While my home leans neutral with rustic woods, concrete and stone, I love to funktify it with pops of color. I don't sew, but I do love beautiful fabric and walking into Frugal F. felt like heaven. The colors, the heft, the textures- especially the pieces I picked up, were delicious. It's a hidden gem for crafters and quilters- neither of which I am, but I'm so glad I came here- plus these ladies know their stuff. By the way, they offer a point system and get 'oink' ;-) points based on how many yards of fabric were purchased.

And as a result of that, Michael's has been a one-stop shop for such things when I want to do something at home or work. The Sunday I came to this Kingston, NY location at Kings Mall, I picked up a glass+black frame for a deckle edge art piece my daughter had gotten hubs. The layout here is bigger than most Michael's I've been to, prices of course, are reasonable and I can use my educator's discount on top of what I buy.

I've had luck in the past taking pictures frames to my local Michael's in Westchester, but now that I'm up here, I wanted to support a small business. Valentina Custom Frame & G. on Main St in New Paltz has its own parking lot- which makes it super easy if you can't find any parking on the strip. Between modern, rustic, wood, ornate and other frame styles, this small shop, showcases at least 100, 200+ (if not more) samples to choose from. Valentina aims to please because the moment I came here with a desperate look on my face and showed her the frame, she eased my worries and explained what how she'll fix it. At $25 to fix my frame- not only did I get a banging deal and she brought my frame back to life- but she's professional and passionate about all things frames.

She was able to extract that section and insert it into a beautiful frame that highlights the embroidery. The quality of the frames and the framing itself is fantastic and clearly above what you would find if you tried to do it yourself or went to a Michael's. Plus I now have the peace of mind that my mom's artwork is preserved forever.

I live in the Southwest and had no idea that a family member would pass away unexpectedly. Suddenly, I was tasked with planning a funeral and creating the program, obituary, and thank-you cards -- all from afar. After finding Minuteman Press through a Google search, Amanda and Carrie immediately stepped in to help bring my ideas to life. There were moments when I was completely at a loss for what to do, but they patiently guided me through every detail -- from paper choices and fonts to wording and layout. They approached my situation with professionalism, compassion, and genuine kindness. On days when I broke down in tears, these two incredible women surrounded me with support. The final product wasn't just good -- it was exceptional. It brought me to tears. When I needed additional items at the last minute, they worked tirelessly to ensure everything was perfect. Though it has taken me seven months to write this review, I wanted Amanda and Carrie to know they were truly my lifesavers. This is not just a printing business -- they helped bring my loved one's memory to life. My family and I are forever grateful for Minuteman Press of Wappingers Falls. I wholeheartedly recommend them for any of your printing needs.
