More Monthly Club News
It's time for another monthly club summary, a listing of all the goodies you can order to have a fun project appear in your mailbox along with all those ugly bills. The first on the list is the newest--a Halloween hearts club that combines Vicky DeAngelis' stitching skills with Needle Deeve's little hearts. It's called Beloved and Bewitched.

Combine carrots and reindeer and what do you get? What's the Point's new Foodie for Rudie club, which is Associated Talent's carrot-shaped club that combines tiny Christmas reindeer with candy for a delicious amount of fun.
http://www.whatsthepoint.biz/clubs.php
Fireside Stitchery is opening up previous clubs for new members and adding some wonderful larger pieces for stitchers who want something larger but that can be broken down into manageable canvases like the New Orleans building, which is charm personified, designed by Kate's Path. (There are some pretty ghoulish canvases for Halloween lovers, too.)

Interested in something no one else in your sewing circle has? Then visit Family Arts for their charming little Christmas squares. The Kathy Schenkel Halloween stars are fabulous, by the way!

Or you can stitch the Associated Talents harvest corn cobs. Aren't they the prettiest Indian corn you've ever seen?

Well, that's enough for now. I still have plenty of links for monthly clubs but I'll put off mentioning those for another week or two.

Erhman Sale
The British needlepoint kit company Ehrman is having their yearly October sale. You can see the kits for sale on their website. These are classic designs, meant for wool tent stitches, but at this price you could pick up a kit and substitute some of the threads for a more American look.

Remember My Victims
Labels:
interviews
I've done quite a few interviews here on Blog with famous, infamous (ok, not really but it sounded good) and unknown folks from the world of needlepoint. All these are preserved here on Blog and are revealed by a little searching. Search on "Interviews" in the search box in the upper left corner and lots will pop up--an interview with Jay Patterson of Rainbow Gallery, a peek into Leigh Designs' studio and design process, a look at Melissa Shirley's stitching, a visit with Margaret Condy, interviews with the twin designer/shop owner team of Eileen Aird and Elizabeth Hess, a visit with Ruth Dilts and much, much more!
Plus you'll find links to other folks' interviews on other sites.
I tag every article published on Blog with keywords to help folks find things later. Do a little digging and the most amazing things will turn up!
