Vicky has just finished her Kirk and Hamilton piece for the Winter TNNA show in February. It's a figgy pudding! I have no idea what that is but Vicky thinks it is a bit like fruitcake.

To try and get an idea of traditional British puddings I visited Ivan Day's website. I think boiled puddings are probably the most like Vicky's figgy pudding.

Whether you are interested in food or not, Vicky's very British pudding is a delight to see.

Monthly Club News
Recently I've been putting monthly club news on the Monthly Club tab so that everything is in one place for those who are interested in browsing the huge range of clubs that area available. But since two shops just posted about new clubs, I was tempted to announce them here as a reminder to check the monthly club news occasionally. Even if you are not in the market for a club, it is fun to see the varied ways they are stitched.
Pocket Full of Stitches is the shop I credit with the monthly club craze. They offered a variety of clubs before any other shop as far as I know. The newest club is Blessings, a series of fancy crosses from A Collection of Designs, perfect for meditative stitching. It starts next January. Here are the models for almost all the series.

Needle Works just posted the last Labors of Love elephant model (it's a humdinger!) from their current and announced that the new club for next year is a Nativity set by Brenda Stofft. The Nativity set club will also start up next January.
