Monthly Club News

Besides the Day of the Dead pieces Robin is going to stitch I mentioned in the last article, Eye Candy has just showed off the last of the models for their Owls club. It's a hoot!

Vicky is also working on her monthly club, the one with Needle Deeva's trees that is called Fab Firs.

Needle Works has posted photos of the circus elephant canvases for their club that starts in June.  One is stitched.  I can't wait to see it made up!  I think the canvases are from Labors of Love but I am not sure.

Holiday Stitching by the Experts

Holiday stitching never seems to go out of style. Ruth Schmuff just finished stitching (with help from Brenda Hart and her mother) one of the Michael Stoebner canvases that her company distributes.  It's the Easter Bunny, caught in mid-run, carrying flowers and a basket to some lucky little boy or girl.  Ruth shows off an easy silk ribbon flower technique in her article about Mr. Buns.  He is about the cutest bunny I've seen this year, from his fluffy tail to his pink crystal nose!

Robin King is showing off the new monthly club series she's going to be stitching for Needle Deeva--pastel sugar Skulls for the Day of the Dead celebrations!  Naturally, being Robin, she is going to accessorize her stitching with Day of the Dead magnets and snap trays for her tools.  If you like something a bit edgy or just want to celebrate Halloween in the springtime, you will enjoy all of these goodies for Dia de los Muertos.
