Breaking News: Jane Zimmerman Has Died

The amazing embroidery historian, embroiderer, needlepoint writer and teacher Jane Zimmerman has died.


For now her website is still up, so you can see some of her designs.  What you cannot see is the play of light on the silk and metallics she used.  Trust me, her work is stunning in person.  Cameras are blind to the technical expertise she used so well to create lights and shadows on her designs.

Snap up her books and charts if you can.  They are marvelous.

Free Hearts for Hospice Charts from NAN

The National Association of Needle Artists has added a section of free heart charts to their website.  These are intended to be used for the Hearts for Hospice program.  The designs are from graduates of the NAN certification program and they are lovely.
