Because it is that time of year (and because, this being my blog, I can) I have listed the Halloween-themed monthly clubs that you can join or sign up for next year. First is the Needle Deeva Creeps set, with stitch guides by Robin King. Here's the smug devil. LOL

You can see the entire set here. Sign up at any shop on the list of participants. However, if you are interested in stitching Bones, this is an exclusive Creep at Ruth Schmuff's shop (second link).

Speaking of Ruth, she loves Halloween and has collaborated with Kelly Clark for the sweet Halloween treats club. If you scroll down farther, you'll see the Halloween tree ornaments club that Ruth did 2-3 years ago. Those are still available if you need something spooky for a tree in your haunted mansion.

Chandail has done the Kelly Clark witch hats and also Associated Talents' candy corn ornaments. They plan a Halloween club for next year using the poison bottles from Kirk and Hamilton. Nothing is up on their website yet for the bottles but the other two series are on their website and still available.

Needlenook of La Jolla offers the Kelly Clark bat ornaments as one of their monthly clubs. The candy apples club from the same designer has a lot of Halloween-themed ornaments as well.

Thread Garden has Boo Whooo?, the Cheryl Schaeffer Halloween pumpkin ornament club. In a twist, you never know which pumpkin will arrive in the next installment.

Pocket Full of Stitches has done quite a few Halloween-themed clubs over the years. You can do one of the Halloween Parties (either the monsters or the kids dressed up in costumes) and add the backdrop for each if you choose. There's also the Raymond Crawford (I think) Haunted Windows that spell out Halloween, the Trick or Treat banner, and the Halloween letter ornaments with their pumpkin and scaredy cat. Most of the designs are from A Collection of Designs I believe, although not all are credited on the PFOS website.

Fancy Stitches has the fun Kathy Schenkel Halloween stars. Since they also offer her Christmas and Thanksgiving stars, you can stick to a star theme for all your holiday decorating.

The final club I found for you Halloween decorators is the Halloween treat pail club from Needle Deeva at Beeth's Needlepoint. If you have already done some Needle Deeva Halloween and need more, this is the club for you.

See? There's no excuse for not stitching Halloween to decorate a scary house for Halloween 2012!

What about Amy Bunger/Kelly Clark's Halloweenies?
Great posting, Jane. Looks like I'll have some new Halloween stitching friends next year with all of those clubs and offerings. Happy Halloween to you! Boo!!!
Anne, I'd forgotten about them! They aren't a current club but I imagine anyone can still order them from Amy Bunger's shop. Gosh, how could I forget? LOL
