One of the drawbacks of those awesome needlepoint Christmas stockings (besides the fact that they are HUGE) is the expense and the time it takes to stitch them up. (Did I mention they are BIG?) Pocket Full of Stitches stocks an alternative in these stocking kits from Bucilla for making applique stockings embellished with felt and sequins and beads (and anything else you can think of).

And when that happens, I'm liable to end up almost anywhere! Here's my latest find--a Halloween pumpkin pin cushion and a tea box that would make a wonderful stitching tool container for your living room.

Gay Ann Rogers
Fans of delicate and complex counted canvaswork should know that Gay Ann Rogers' annual sales of her charts, kits and samplers are about to begin. Tomorrow (October 5) the pre-sale sale starts. The actual Annual E-Week Sale starts in a week from tomorrow. Gay Ann will sell items from old classes and designs for new pieces from October 12 until the close of business on October 19. During that Oct. 12-19 period, there will be special sales of items that are in limited supply starting at 8 a.m. California time on Saturday and Sunday, October 15-16, only. These are for kits that use threads or beads that are no longer available. Some details are on her website already but exactly what she will sell is a secret until the Pre-Sale or the actual E-Week and special Saturday/Sunday sales begin.
