You may not have heard of the Cajun Navy, an informal group of folks from Louisiana with boats who rush to flooding disasters and pull folks to safety. I have because during last year's Hurricane Harvey, they recued a friend of mine. Now there is an ornament celebrating their service and bravery, available from Nashville Needleworks. A donation is made to the Hurricane Relief Fund every time you buy one of these, too.

Tricia Nguyen
Tricia Nguyen is well-known among the needle set for her 17th Century reproduction casket and mirror classes. She's also an engineer and familiar with the challenges of making threads and fabrics for the use of needle artists. The latest challenge has been to get the nice linen needed for her classes. You will be amazed to read about the long shelf life of linens and how that dye lot change you are annoyed with might have occurred because environmental laws changed ten years back.
