A great many needlepoint shops have a January sale going on now. Here are the ones I know about:
Needlepoint in the 21st Century has painted and printed canvases on sale. Check out the home page and also the Clearance page for some big bargains. I don't think any of their great book collection is on sale, however.

Old World Designs will sell in-stock painted canvases at 25% off from January 15-29. Books, some threads and accessories are also on sale but the newsletter didn't spell out what or how much off. They have a Shorebird Studio trunk show until January 12 if you are a fan of Kate Molineux's designs like I am.

When it comes to monthly clubs, ads in the needlepoint magazines are full of new items. The Needlepointer hasn't updated their monthly club page yet, but they plan a ribbon candy canvas club, a club featuring Melissa Shirley's tiny fancy pumpkins that spell out Thanksgiving, and a peppermint patty club of double sided canvases that make sweet treats for all stitchers. All these start this month, so hopefully the website will have this information soon.

Nordic Needle is jumping into the monthly club business with their counted canvaswork Seasonal Snowflakes.

Chandail is working with Melissa Shirley to create Santa Bells, a series of her classic Santa designs in "snow globe bell" form. Each bell is 5 inches high so these can be made up into ornaments or finished as a series of stand up designs. You can see the first three Santa bells on their home page. Follow the links for nice big photos. My favorite is the red Santa holding the bird tree but you may prefer one of the more over-the-top designs that still manage to be elegant in true Chandail style.

A Stitch in Time is offering Raymond Crawford flowers of the month in a cheerful club that will bring spring to you any month of the year.

Finally, Old Town Needlework in Arizona is doing a kimono club. The designs are darling but sadly only the details are on their website. No pictures! The 3 x 3 1/2 inch kimonos are all from Lee or Patt and Lee Designs.
