I am stunned and saddened by our loss. Besides her amazing original needlepoint designs, Kandy was very active in dog rescue organizations (particularly for Westies) and sent me and many others a charming holiday e-card featuring her rescued dogs in costumes on every holiday.

The photographs are just a few of my favorites from Kandy's amazing body of needlepoint, much of which in the last few years were original designs donated to various rescue organizations.

Have fun in heaven with all your dogs, Kandy!

I had not seen this. So sorry and another great loss.
Yes, it is. Kandy always helped those who could not help themselves, particularly dogs. She was also very giving for ANG, with many of her designs ending up in Needle Pointers and NP News/NP Plus. She will be greatly missed.
