The Latest Monthly Club News

Serendipity Needleworks is starting a Christmas ornament club and they are starting out in style with a Melissa Shirley Santa.  I don't know what the rest of the series will be but this is certainly worth bookmarking to keep an eye out.

Ruth Schmuff Designs has announced their latest monthly ornament club.  It's silly, sassy, sparkly SOCKS.  The stitch guides are by Vicky DeAngelis so you know they are going to be fabulous!

By the way, if you like hearing the story behind the clubs, here is what Vicky has to say about her Silly Sassy Sparkly Socks stitch guides.

On the Do It Yourself side of monthly clubs, I suspect some stitchers will want to stitch a dede village from her collection of 3-D building canvases.
