Sharlotte spoke of learning new things, so this is the time to mention ANG's latest cyberclass-Catherine Jordan's "A Knot Garden." I've seen this in person at Woodlawn and it is magnificent. Both dimensional and delicate, this is your chance to learn some wonderful new techniques that will carry over into your needlepoint for years to come.

Profile: Sharlotte DeVere
When we first moved to Virginia, we lived in the quaint little Colonial town of Leesburg, only about two miles from the downtown area which has a small and fascinating counted thread shop called The Queen's Stitch. It was great fun to visit to admire the silk gauze kits, the little perforated paper boxes, to look at the skeins of Paternayan hung against the wall, and to generally enjoy the atmosphere of a good stitching shop, so I was heartbroken when the owner Sharlotte decided to move back home to the family farm in Pennsylvania. Imagine my surprise when I discovered Sharlotte will be back in the area to teach at the Loudoun Sampler Guild! The guild also posted a link to a Nordic Needle interview with Sharlotte which I think you'll find interesting.

Great stitchers are found in unexpected places but what really amazes me about our art is the diversity of folks who are drawn to make things with their hands. I think we are involved in a universal impulse to create with the needle, don't you?
Enjoy the article. If you are at the EGA Seminar this year, hug Sharlotte for me and tell me I remember the Queen's Stitch very fondly.
