The Nimble Needle in Atlanta has just posted an obituary for Stacy Brown, the owner of the shop, who just lost her long brave fight with lung cancer.

We are sorry to hear that another great stitcher (and shop owner) has left us behind as they continue their great adventure.
UPDATE: Here is the information about her memorial service on November 28.

While looking for something else online, I ran into this mention of Ellen Ordway, "the Duchess of Needlepoint." She stitched a lot of rugs, and designed and stitched a magnificent Alice in Wonderland screen which you'll see here.

I wonder where that screen is now….
