BREAKING NEWS: Leigh Shafer is Dead UPDATED

Messages have been posted to both Facebook and the ANG email list this morning, mourning the passing of Leigh Shafer. Leigh was well known for her lovely personality and her great finishing. She will be greatly missed in the world of needlepoint.

UPDATE POSTED TO FACEBOOK:  Hi everyone, this is Leigh's daughter Marissa. Thank you all for you wonderful and kind words. Mom loved you all so much. We will be doing a celebration of life for her on Sun Jan 29th at the Sedona Public Library at 1pm. I will also be streaming it live on her fb page for those who cannot attend.

If you know of other versions of Nobuko, could you let Mary Agnes know?   You can add a comment with a book and page number of where you found the variation or you can contact her via the shop.
