Melissa Shirley just announced the death of John Johannsen yesterday morning. She reposted the photographs she took in his studio last year for folks to enjoy his work again.

His designs will continue to be available on needlepoint canvas via Melissa. Thank you for the joy you brought to admirers of his art, Melissa.

Kneelers from Ely Cathedral
Labels:
churches,
ecclesiastical embroidery,
finishing,
kneelers
A friend of Needlepoint Land's owner has been on a trip to England and took photos of the kneelers in Ely Cathedral that were shared with the shop, who shared them with us. I wish there were more photographs but the bright, happy colors are just wonderful!
