Betsy Swartwood, the ANG Auction Chairman for the Milwaukee Seminar next fall, has posted a message on the ANG email list that more items are available to stitch for the Auction.
Betsy told folks to look at the current list of items on the ANG website, plus she has two small Shay Pendray kits available. All these are on a first come-first served basis except for the canvases marked LP as these are sets that the Life Patrons of ANG stitch as a group. Here's the list.

The way this works is you email Betsy the number of the canvas and she sends it to you. You stitch it with the threads you supply (some canvases have a stitch guide, some don't) and return it to her by the deadline (usually March or May, negotiate with Betsy on this point) and she has it finished into something that's auctioned off. Occasionally items are saved for the following year's auction, especially if they are part of a set that isn't finished yet.
Betsy's email address is auction@needlepoint.org so check the list and give her a call. There are lots of great items waiting for you to act....
I'm stitching Kandace Merric's pet guardian angel set. More on that once I finish making up my Squiggee canvas.
