Visiting PFOS

Tisha just got back from a Julia Snyder retreat at Pocket Full of Stitches (PFOS) and treated us to a peek inside the shop that I think ignited the craze for monthly clubs.

By the way, here's PFOS' website.

The Candy Cane Addicts UPDATED

I have a friend who is addicted to the small Melissa Shirley cracker canvases (she stitches one a week during her long commute), and now it looks like there is another group of addicts: The Candy Cane Crew!  These are all from Carol Dupree.  I think her work is distributed by Susan Roberts.

UPDATE:  Dale joins the Candy Cane Addicts.

And the Young Needlepointer is an addict, too.

I think some of these are Dupree custom designs but Needle Works carries them with various Texas college symbols.  Browse all her canvases to see what is in stock.

I love the sweet faces of Carol Dupree's angels but I confess I never noticed the candy canes before.  Thanks for the tip, Candy Cane Crews!

P.S.  There is a tote bag ornament addict here, too!

The little beach bag totes are from Linda Lahm.  You can see the entire series here.
