Breaking News: A Collection of Designs Sold

Apparently Janet Burnett of A Collection of Designs has sold her company to the conglomerate that owns Needlepoint.com, Kirk and Hamilton, and Elizabeth Bradley Designs. I'm told the new entity is being referred to as Kirk and Bradley and Burnett in advertising, but on the ACOD website it is called Burnett and Bradley.

The Bride UPDATED

...The Bride of Frankenstein, that is!  Here is what Suzanne has done with one of her Monster's Ball canvases.  This is an older club from Pocket Full of Stitches.  The second link shows the entire set.  This is from Janet Burnett/A Collection of Designs.  Very very cute!

Suzanne is stitching the club this year and will update her blog with photos of each as she finishes them.  She's already added It to the collection, which makes me smile broadly.  Actually, I don't know which one I like best.  They are all cuter than monsters have a right to be.

By the way, if you are a fan of larger Halloween pieces, Enriched Stitch is planning classes for Melissa Shirley's new Four Witches.  Here is the first one, skulls and all.

The Halloween B00-tique

Ruth Schmuff's blog announced her new monthly club yesterday--a selection of Halloween canvases from A Collection of Designs combined with Ruth's over-the-top embellishments and stitch ideas.

Now you see why I was so frantic to have my blog list link to Ruth's blog work correctly!  I still can't link to it directly on the blog list but you can view the finished ornaments here.  Hint:  Put on your sunglasses.  :)

Pricing and all the sign up details are on Ruth's shop website.

I think it was Chottie Aldersen who said if it's not fun, it isn't needlepoint.  By that definition this is NeEDlePoInT!
