The National Academy of Needle Arts (NAN) has updated their website with the class lineup for their 2015 Assembly. They also have added the 2014 Examplary award winners to the site. Hurrah! Eye candy galore! If you aren't familiar with NAN, you are going to have great fun exploring their website.

It's a little tricky to find the 2014 winners so here's the link. Prepare to be astounded.

Something Totally New and Different

I rarely come across something totally different in the way of stitching, but Janet Brandt has come up with something totally new--the art of Zhen Zian Bao, or the Chinese folk art of thread books with paper folded style inserts. I think the sampler reproduction fans will go wild with this Chinese version of smalls.

Here is a bit about the Ruth Smith/Gina Corrigan book on this art.
