Thistle Hill Exhibit--With Photographs!

Thanks to Karen who mentioned it on Facebook, I have a newspaper article for you to read about the Thistle Hill historic mansion needlework exhibit that is about to open. If you are going to be in Fort Worth in a week, make time to see this.

Stumpwork Butterflies and Moths

Jane Nicholas has a new book out.   It is called Stumpwork Butterflies and Moths and it looks to be amazing!  I haven't seen it in prson but Mary Corbet has done one of her thorough reviews about it here--

Jane is a specialist in stumpwork and has written a great many books on this topic.  Her dragonflies one is especially wonderful to me, but they are all worth looking for.  Thanks for the tip, Mary!

Joan Reports from TNNA

If you get Needlepoint Now, you have been admiring Joan Eidman's St. Nicholas canvases which are being featured in the magazine.   Joan got to go to Market in January (she's a professional musician whose performance schedule means she often is busy during Markets) and luckily reported back on everything she saw and did.

Joan's company is Fiori and is distributed by Dreamhouse Ventures.
