Pocket Full of Stitches is closed today but I may have figured out what one of their new monthly clubs is going to be...
Halloweenies from Renaissance Designs!

Decide for yourself. Compare the snippets of canvas they showed on their blog over the weekend to the canvases in the link above. What do you think? It is possible that the second series is the Kelly Clark pears squares that I've seen other places. But somehow the second "clue" doesn't look like these designs....

UPDATE: PFOS has revealed All. I was half right.

While in search of more clubs, I found In Stitches Atlanta has a limited edition Nutcracker music box set for sale. These are quite unusual and a great present for the right stitcher. If that stitcher is you, bookmark the page and then print it out to stick on your refrigerator with BUY ME prominently written on top and the shop phone number circled. Just saying!

In Stitches Atlanta is a newer shop with an expanding presence in the NP online world. Its owners also own Labors of Love which designed the music box set above. They are bringing in terrific teachers for their shop and I expect great things from them in the next decade.

By the way, the canvas above is Labors of Love's Pandora. Wouldn't she make a wonderful box top lid, especially with a fancy Greek Key pattern border? Pandora's Box, you know. LOL

I'm off to stitch even more of Cha's background before someone throws a shoe at me. Hugs to all!

That Seven Geishas wall hanging by Trubey is an awesome design! 36" by 56" would keep me in stitching pretty much for a lifetime, but what a beauty when finished!

It is big but what a lovely thing it would be when finished.
