People are starting to blog about their time at Seminar.   I'm putting all the New Jersey Needle Artists Chapter reports together in this article.

Melita is at Seminar and has purchased a few goodies, took a cruise to enjoy the Chicago skyline, and added the Seminar pin to add to her new name tag.

Orna Willis is on her way to teach, lugging goodies for Expo Night with her.  Anyone want to help Orna set up her table?

What Is a Cipher and What's a Monogram? UPDATED

It never occurred to me that monograms were not just letters of the alphabet on a design until I read Mary Corbet's very helpful article on monographs, ciphers and initials.

UPDATE:  Needle Paint which creates a lot of custom belts with various styles of monograms talks about their favorite styles with lots of photo examples.
